From what I hear Void or a BSD is the way to go. I was going to suggest Arch because it gets updates very quickly, but the security of it's bleeding-edge patches are questionable. I hate Debian Stable, but maybe that could be in the running.

Wasn't aware of this Void distro...sounds interesting; def going to look into it.

Windows 7.

>>59454744
Why not Win10 Enterprise LTSB?

>>59454744
OS/2

>>59454744
Windows 7 or Windows 10 LTSB.

>>59454744
Windows 7 or maybe macOS + Thinkpad/compatible hardware.

>>59454972
How do you get LTSB if you're not an enterprise?>>59454987
LOL

>>59455005
I'm willing to make the switch to Mac but only if it's really the best option

>>59454744
why ask for advice on what OS to choose while posting a list of incorrect assumptions stated as facts for us to go by?

>How do you get LTSB if you're not an enterprise?

let me guess you're one of those idiots who buy windows right lmao

>>59455031
I encourage you to correct the assumptions if they are wrong

>>59455045
While I'm not morally opposed to doing it, for reasons I can't go into I have to use a legit license. Any way to get Microsoft to sell me one?

I switched my laptop from Win7 to FreeBSD for security reasons just as a trial, and I've kept it on there for the last 3 months now. It has most of the stuff I need (KDE, but it supports a bunch of desktops including Gnome, home drive encryption, Firefox, LibreOffice).

Some possible cons: Not as much software as Linux, no official AMD drivers (may have changed in the last couple years), shitty flash support (but you can get it working through a Linux emulation mechanism that I haven't messed with much).

>>59455106
Did you see the Vault7 release....tons of FreeBSD vulnerabilities, and the only thing related to OpenBSD was download instructions...I don't love gnome though desu

>more secure

>>59454744
TempleOS is probably your best bet.

>>59455164

Well shit, I doubt any other OS's come close to offering anything like THAT...we have a winner

>>59455164
Plus by offering no network support it guarantees the best possible OOTB security imaginable...
and those VGA/ASCII graphics make for a great UX!

I read a bit of it but not the specifics for each exploit. Generally for a desktop setup I considered it pretty safe since I don't have any ports open to the internet and I run all my shit as a standard user. I guess now I have to check it out and see.

Win 10 LTSB still includes "diagnostic" keyloggers running in the background
