I’m following your path jumping on Secureblue, because I found the project philosophy appealing to my interest.

I don’t feel the same about the others Atomic distros. I’m probably missing something but other Atomic projects don’t seem to be adding much value if you know your thing for workstation home users.

Also, to the OP, reading the comments it seems clear to me that even with the best product you won’t be able to please everyone. Although it definitely plants the interest on some that are coming across the topic for the first time, which I think is good. Learning something new should be on everyone’s list.

Gzus, quite dark comment/thought

Some answers to your first question you can find here: https://madaidans-insecurities.github.io/guides/linux-hardening.html

For the second question about in what ways Secureblue do mitigate that you can find more here: https://secureblue.dev/features

The last question about usability, is very usable. If you use Bazzite you may have a similar experience. It is not like QubesOS that isolate all processes making it even not able to use a GPU.

Not exactly a product from ublue but something in the same line:

Secureblue because of the reasons aforementioned for the ublue images where things are really darn rock solid out of the box AND because Linux is fundamentally behind in security and this project is trying to mitigate some of the big flaws.

It looks that part of it is proprietary https://docs.sailfishos.org/Services/Development/Sailfish_OS_Source/

Yeah, I get it. Disconnecting the TV is a must, and luckily I never even connected mine for many years. The thing is that I’m not sure that we can trust in the licensed devices either. Chromecast, Fire TV, Nvidia, etc… All of them have trackers as well. A PC or a Pi would have the limitation of streaming at maximum 1080p resolution for some streamers providers such as Netflix. It is quite a challenge!

Honest question how do we stream from Netflix, HBO Max, Apple TV, etc without connecting to the internet? Also, most of those stream require a recognized device to stream over 1080p. So basically, if you get a new TV wouldn’t you be operating it as a old TV on those terms? The alternative that I see is keeping all that you want to watch at 4k in Jellyfin or Emby (don’t use Plex it is just pushing ads) but you will need to maintain a library.

Google/Meta/Microsoft applications, you are the pet of big corp

I’m using Grayjay because I can follow PeerTube and Patreon content in one single place

Sorry, it is very poorly worded. English isn’t my primarily language. What I intend to say is that government would benefit for picking a community distro, like Valve did, instead of a company driven one.

Well, companies like Valve, they are a bit more worried if the distro are community or organization driven. So, for government, perhaps that same philosophy should be considered which is not the case of Fedora or Suse. They check distros such as Arch or Debian and derivatives.

Any particular friction with GPUs? I see that they have a Nvidia image and they actually recommend if possible to stay away from Nvidia but does it work well with Nvidia or AMD GPUs?

Can we maybe tinker it to get some of the things that we have in Bazzite?

Manjaro?

Not sure how Solus is doing nowadays as well but maybe a tiny bit better than Manjaro?

Does Louis releases his videos on PeerTube or just Odysee and YouTube?

I’m not a KDE user, is it possible to have the upper bar all the way up without showing the wallpaper above?

That is a reminder that I should donate to the project. The instance that I joined is up and running.

Not challenging, what good open source games do we have so far?
