From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Linux is a family of open source Unix-like operating systems based on the Linux kernel, an operating system kernel first released on September 17, 1991 by Linus Torvalds. Linux is typically packaged in a Linux distribution (or distro for short).

Distributions include the Linux kernel and supporting system software and libraries, many of which are provided by the GNU Project. Many Linux distributions use the word "Linux" in their name, but the Free Software Foundation uses the name GNU/Linux to emphasize the importance of GNU software, causing some controversy.

This. Or, nowadays secureblue Kinoite!

Its a hardened Variant of ublue kinoitr, but I tested it and especially using the "userns" variants, a lot works

  • flatpak
  • virtual machines
  • fingerprint sensor

"userns" means user namespaces, a technology used by browsers, flatpak and Podman/Docker/Toolbox/Distrobox to create Sandboxes, isolating processes. It is used by default on Fedora, so these variants are pretty much like regular Fedora.

Dont think a secure Distro is user-unfriendly. It works pretty normal, but is simply way more secure.

If you want to use Firefox or Torbrowser, install their binaries.
