    Not sure what I fall under 😅 I want privacy and will pay for it, but I won’t go all the way to a pure GNU OS where only certain open-source is allowed. IMO buying a new Pixel phone for GrapheneOS is still contributing to Google and does more harm than good.

    Not sure where I fall into this chart =)

    Favorite OS: OpenSuse Tumbleweed
    Favorite browser: Librewolf

    • I love FOSS culture and hate corporations with passion.
    • For messaging I use Discord and Telegram
    • Use old netbook from 2007 and my desktop PC is around the same age.
    • I do watch Luke Smith and “Richard Stallman was right”!

      Not sure where I fall into this chart.

      I can tell you. You’re in the shit distro+shit browser part of the chart. Terrible choices. Not like my distribution which is so good. With a very good browser.

      No I haven’t read what your distro is. Nor your browser. Irrelevant.

      My distro? You wouldn’t know it. Very niche. But very good. Maybe the same as yours, but not the shit one. The good one.

      Am I a moron? Sure. A moron with a good distro. (It’s ubuntu+chrome, if you know it)

    Suspicious lack of Qubes. Who do you work for??? the CIA? China? The Rwandan National Intelligence and Security Agency?

        If all you want to do is run VMs, Qubes is not what you are looking for. Even virtual machine manager (and other abstractions over libvirt and KVM) need to be hardened to avoid compromising the host.

        Example: By default virt-manager uses a NAT bridge to allow for the guest VM to access the host and the LAN. A couple of weeks ago vulnerability was found in CUPS print server, allowing a hacker to do RCE. If a guest VM was compromised (previously or because of the vulnerability), since the host also likely has CUPS the hacker could use the guest system to compromise the host. This is avoided on Qubes because the host has minimal software.

        Virt-manager offers no where near the same Security as Qubes. Qubes has a security hardened host and strong Desktop security model. Everything runs in VMs (aka qubes) including different parts of the system to further improve isolation. Sure, you could replace Qubes OS with an off the shelf Linux distro and run VMs, but that is nothing like Qubes, offers none of the convenience, and isn’t hardened or debloated (reducing host attack surface).

        No Linux distro comes close. Qubes is designed for a specific job. I am not saying Qubes is the “best OS ever” when I say Linux distros dont come close, I specifically mean that no Linux distro is designed with as strong of a focus on Desktop security model and isolation-based workflow.

    I’m less familiar with the icons starting at around section 4 onwards.

    Could anyone share / link what some of them are?

        The FSF-approved distributions that are shown are: Trisquel, Parabola and GNU Guix (this one is actually quite neat, it’s based on NixOS with its own ideas like the importance of being able to bootstrap an entire system from a minimal binary seed)

        The browser with logo shown is GNU IceCat, with binary blobs removed and with some extra security and privacy features (among them an addon that prevents the browser from running proprietary javascript)

        lynx is a simple TUI web browser and w3m also is a similar browser but running in GNU Emacs

        The last three are all the GNU Emacs logo.

        Between IRC and the picture representing the idea of self-hosting, there’s the XMPP logo, which like IRC, is an instant messaging protocol (but with more features than IRC).

    I’d say I’m tech conservative/cynic with a bit of normie - as I’ve long accepted that forgoing big tech completely means losing the ability to talk to most of my friends and relatives (because there’s zilch chance of me convincing them to move away)

    Seems like I’m a newborn paranoid. Favorite os = arch Favorite browser = librewolf Favorite apps = f-droid

    I disable cookies on virtually all websites. And I do fear the slippery slope sometimes.

      FYI, there are uBlock filters to block most cookie popups - you just have to enable them. From memory, I think they are called annoyances

    Mmmh don’t think that an FSF Member prefers WebM for it is made and maintained by Google the thoroughbred of sin.
