I was looking at that thread and honest question: how does Qubes OS deal with the binary blob issue? I would guess it is deblobbed to a certain extend according to [0]

But I couldn't find if they have a strict "no binary blob allowed" policy like OpenBSD.

They do not have a strict "no binary blob allowed" policy. Concerning VMs, they have a policy of minimal modifications: https://doc.qubes-os.org/en/latest/introduction/faq.html#wha...

The dom0 is based on Fedora and has the Fedora's policy for firmware blobs. See also: https://doc.qubes-os.org/en/latest/introduction/faq.html#wil...
