WHICH DISTRO IS THE SAFEST?

running mint, is comfy

also running debian, coz of some hardware issues with a 4g modem on mint, other than that mint is great

Hardened Gentoo, the only safe option

windows 10 with adblock

Only Stallman Approved G/N/U PLUS Linuxd istro's running on completely open hardware with openRISC architecture with the networking ripped out and replaced with freedom running libreboot without Xorg. If you want security go OpenBSD. There is no such thing as mostly free or partial slavery, your computer must be completely free! Viva GNU rey!

Yeah sure use a distro that holds back security patches because they're afraid of breaking their hacked-together distro, and let their own website get hacked to distribute malware-infected ISOs.

>>59282768
Excuse me, they only hold back security patches because those security patches might break the distro. That makes them smart

>>59282783
No, they'd be smart if they'd built a distro that can be kept patched without breaking. You know, like Debian, Ubuntu, Fedora, CentOS, and others all do.

The only way to stay safe from American government?

1. Don't live in America
2. Don't buy American technology
3. Don't use American software

Without Xorg, how will I do graphical stuff?

>>59282860
Xorg is a security nightmare. Until wayland or mir manifest into reality at least. Don't do graphical stuff if you want a secure distro. Text only.

>>59282851
You're not protected by the 4th as a non-citizen so the NSA can monitor you however they want.

>>59282860
with wayland, clearly

>>59282879
>implying the NSA, or any American president for more than a century, gives half a shit about the Constitution

They ignore petty legalities like human rights. If you want to keep them out you need to use technical means to enforce it. That's incredibly difficult if you're being specifically targeted, but it's not nearly so tough to throw a spanner in the works of passive dragnet surveillance.

i dont believe that your disto is your biggest worry as long as its not ubuntu. what is however, a worry is your web browser, the sites you visit, and especially your ISP.

Trisquel perhaps or that OS I forgot the name, which operates everything in sandbox mode.

Do you see the problem here?

>>59283352
At this point the only 'safe' systems are systems built and programmed before the invention of networking. So maybe Multics, Lisp machines, and anything made with FORTRAN in the 70's and earlier.

Meant ISP, fug

>>59283390
Yup. That battle has been lost for a while and we're past the point of no return

I run Temple OS inside of a Faraday cage and do all of my browsing through 3 iPads taped together.

This is only a problem for americans, r-right?

>>59283580
Yes. I'm sure the european, asian, south american etc. agencies all behave completely ethical at all times

Trust me!

>>59283580
And santa clause is real too.

>>59283580
lol
good one
eurofags are even more fucked than americans in this regard

>>59282605
qubes is the safest everything runs in it's own VM at the hardware level

>TempleOS not on the list
CIA niggers permanently blown the fuck out

GNOME uses Wayland by default already.

And refuse to be educated.
