  • That would be interesting. Maybe a separate ISO could be created for someone like you. The only issue with using OpenBSD instead of Linux is that OpenBSD’s network stack is much different from Linux’s, which could potentially worsen your anonymity because so few people use OpenBSD. For now, I would at least try to provide optional non‑systemd Debian templates with OpenRC or runit. I do love the minimilist setup though, your other ideas are definitely noted.





  • Developers should choose a different license if they don’t want to free their code or go work on a project that’s inline with their values then. Poor them, I could care less. The GPL is made for YOUR freedom. Anything that allows a developer to not release their code because they don’t want to, well, that software becomes proprietary, which invades your freedom. Of course the GPL “restricts” those types of developers freedom to do whatever they want, how else would the software stay free? Don’t really understand what your arguement is here.

















  • Absolutely, creating a complete modern computer is an incredibly complex task. Building a 3GHz CPU from scratch is a monumental challenge, and even assembling components like stm32 or Pis requires a level of expertise. Developing your own drivers, dealing with various peripherals, and ensuring compatibility is tough shit.

    However, once the software is written and released under a Free Software license, it will be there forever. As you’ve already stated, it’s hard, but not impossible. I share your hope that one day we will reach the point where such endeavors become more feasible.
