just seen https://www.raspberrypi.org/products/raspberry-pi-4-model-b/

I would like to know your impressions

Does it still need proprietary binary blobs in the kernel?

dunno

From the page you linked:

Raspberry Pi packages [...] - linux-firmware-raspi2 - GPU firmware bootloader files and pi 3 wifi firmware file - linux-raspi2 (linux-image-raspi2) - Linux kernel with patches from https://github.com/raspberrypi/linux - u-boot-rpi - Provides u-boot.bin - flash-kernel - Automatically copies the latest kernel, dtb file and u-boot script to the pi's fat formatted GPU firmware partition So yes, there is a whole bunch of non-free stuff required to even boot the system.

...

so it is as useless as all the models before because it can only run their custom Raspbian distro.

https://wiki.ubuntu.com/ARM/RaspberryPi 18.04.2 both 32bit and 64bit work
