Gzus, quite dark comment/thought

Some answers to your first question you can find here: https://madaidans-insecurities.github.io/guides/linux-hardening.html

For the second question about in what ways Secureblue do mitigate that you can find more here: https://secureblue.dev/features

The last question about usability, is very usable. If you use Bazzite you may have a similar experience. It is not like QubesOS that isolate all processes making it even not able to use a GPU.

Not exactly a product from ublue but something in the same line:

Secureblue because of the reasons aforementioned for the ublue images where things are really darn rock solid out of the box AND because Linux is fundamentally behind in security and this project is trying to mitigate some of the big flaws.

It looks that part of it is proprietary https://docs.sailfishos.org/Services/Development/Sailfish_OS_Source/

Yeah, I get it. Disconnecting the TV is a must, and luckily I never even connected mine for many years. The thing is that I'm not sure that we can trust in the licensed devices either. Chromecast, Fire TV, Nvidia, etc... All of them have trackers as well. A PC or a Pi would have the limitation of streaming at maximum 1080p resolution for some streamers providers such as Netflix. It is quite a challenge!

Honest question how do we stream from Netflix, HBO Max, Apple TV, etc without connecting to the internet? Also, most of those stream require a recognized device to stream over 1080p. So basically, if you get a new TV wouldn't you be operating it as a old TV on those terms? The alternative that I see is keeping all that you want to watch at 4k in Jellyfin or Emby (don't use Plex it is just pushing ads) but you will need to maintain a library.

Any thoughts about Madagascar or New Caledonia?

Mujica might be the best politician that I saw in my life

Google/Meta/Microsoft applications, you are the pet of big corp

I'm using Grayjay because I can follow PeerTube and Patreon content in one single place

One thing to realize is that you are not transitioning for better features. The whole reason of this switch is for much better control in security and privacy.

Just a few more:

Chapada dos Veadeiros

Chapada da Diamantina

Chapada dos Guimarães

Pantanal

Amazônia

Fernando de Noronha

Those are probably the most famous but there are much more from where those came from.

Complete list.

Sorry, it is very poorly worded. English isn't my primarily language. What I intend to say is that government would benefit for picking a community distro, like Valve did, instead of a company driven one.

Well, companies like Valve, they are a bit more worried if the distro are community or organization driven. So, for government, perhaps that same philosophy should be considered which is not the case of Fedora or Suse. They check distros such as Arch or Debian and derivatives.

Anything in particular that wish you to get over from Bazzite?

Very minor things which may or may not be already available in Secureblue:

LatencyFleX, vkBasalt, MangoHud, and OBS VkCapture installed and available by default.

Patched Switcheroo-Control fixing default-broken iGPU/dGPU switching.

HDR available in game mode and full hardware accelerated codec support for H264 decoding.

Are we even able to successfully add an eGPU on those ARM laptops using a Linux distro?

So, in the end, it sounds that is better to use Secureblue as it is since it seems to support quite a lot of the things that Bazzite does. Am I following this right?

Was looking for this question

Any particular friction with GPUs? I see that they have a Nvidia image and they actually recommend if possible to stay away from Nvidia but does it work well with Nvidia or AMD GPUs?

Can we maybe tinker it to get some of the things that we have in Bazzite?
