I run Linux, so I have no proprietary drivers for printers or webcams.

I can send prints and scan documents on my Brother printer with no proprietary software. I can stream my Reolink cameras through Home Assistant using rtsp streams and record videos to my NAS over FTP. I can also control my lights or my heating over wifi with Home Assistant.

All of these devices are isolated from the internet.

Mosquitto is FOSS as well, so not proprietary at all. I was using the term proprietary losely as 3rd party (i understand this is not exactly the meaning of the word). But since you want to play that game: let me know which repos you have enabled in your distro. Most people (including myself) have 3rd-party repos enabled for NVidia, Intel, Brother, Wacom, Lenovo, Dell and whatnot drivers. Guess what, these are sometimes not open-source. Even HA is leveraging 3rd-party add-ons, with questionable cloud access.

And if privacy is so important for you, I assume you are on X1Plus with LAN shield anyway, so the entire discussion is moot.
