Absolutely in favour, the non-free blobs are a persistent thorn in my side. I myself have always been tempted to replace all the fedora and debian templates with alpine or OpenBSD to get smaller VMs (and without systemd), built as many things as unikernels as possible (e.g. the MirageOS firewall), and I’d love if X11 got replaced with Wayland (that one is hard, the X11 modifications are kind of the core of what Qubes provides).

What am I supposed to do?

Learning to write a problem description that is remotely intelligible would be a start. What Distro are you on? What are you trying to accomplish? What have you tried? What error occurs (error messages or what expectations you have that are not met), etc.

I personally favour Alpine Linux for its minimalism, but Devuan or Debian are fine, and more familiar choices, too. Depending on what you intend to run, especially appliance-like things, OpenBSD might be a good alternative.
