I'm not a purity commissar and I actually don't agree with the "proprietary software should be impossible to install" thing of FSF. I meant that what runs on the stock Linux kernel may not run on libre kernel and it can't be a benchmark of FOSS support. Also I'm not talking about VMs
Qubes is a framework around XEN, the microkernel to share and isolate hardware resouces amongst VMs. Inside of those VMs you can run whatever operating system/kernel you like.
Qubes is about as FOSS as you can practically get.
