Yeah I use debian + kde for decades. Debian will install your pick of DEs at install.

Debian it’s a rock solid base that can be updated automatically with minimal user oversight

Yeah that is his point he is trying to make at some point you just have to come to terms with that trust since you are right it’s not feasible to build your own hardware.

No worries , but i think I’m not being clear if you build it from scratch. how are you going you going to compile it ?

Your welcome but that’s the point he was making even if you build everything on your own. The backdoor would be in the compiler. So even if you built /bin/login for example he would just inject it at compile time when compiling your code. But then you asked I will just compile the compiler but you have to compile it at some point and he can inject the code back into the compiler at that point.

If you read this you will never trust anything again. If you aee not familiar with him that is Ken Thompson one of the father’s of Unix.

The fact we are given a choice is a big thing for me. I hate when my info is just pulled from me without my agency. But I am happy to share info with open source project to help them improve. Also valve being a private company they can just build software as their main goal vs just making the line go up by any means possible like a public company.

Your domain need to be tied to cloudflare you don’t need to buy one from them. I just moved mine to them didn’t pay them a dime

Begin Kombat!!!

Adapted KDE project that starts with a G is hilarious. New animaiton software in the KDE family is a very welcome sight.

Obsidian is not open source but i also think it’s pretty neat.
