I am not satisfied with Linux’s security and have been researching alternative open source OS for privacy and security So far only thing that’s ready to use is GrapheneOS (Based on Android) but that’s not available on desktop (Though when Android release Desktop mode it may become viable)
Qubes OS is wrapper around underlying operating systems, so it doesn’t really fix for example Linux’s security holes it just kinda sandbox/virtualize them
OpenBSD is more secure than Linux on a base level but lack mitigations and patches that are added to linux overtime and it’s security practices while good for it’s time is outdated now
RedoxOS (Written in Rust) got some nice ideas but sticks to same outdated practices and doesn’t break the wheel too much, and security doesn’t seems to be main focus of OS
Haiku and Serenity are outright worse than Linux, especially Haiku as it’s single user only
Serenity adopted Pledge and Unveil from OpenBSD but otherwise lacks basic security features
All new security paradigms seems to be happening in microkernels and these are the ones that caught my eyes
None of these are ready to be used as daily driver OS but in future (hopefully) it may change
Genode seems to be far ahead of game than everything else
Ironclad Written in ADA
Atmosphere And Mesosphere Open Source Re-implementation of Nintendo Switch’s Horizon OS, I didn’t expected this to be security-oriented but seems like Nintendo has done a very solid job
Then there are Managarm, HelenOS, Theseus but I couldn’t figure out how secure they are
Finally there is Kicksecure from creators of Whonix, Kicksecure is a linux distro that plans to fix Linux’s security problems
if you know of any other OS please share it here
Why should you trust me? Well, because I am not telling you to trust me. And I am only telling with hard evidence that they are working hard to harass, witch hunt critics, lie about everything, spread FUD and dogma that Pixel/Graphene is the only solution to world’s problems. They are NOT working to make phone security more accessible, or to clear doubts, but to increase doubts and fear.
The reality is that you cherrypicked marketing nonsense, and 1 feature that firstly practically amounts to nothing, and secondly dismisses the immense risks of Google’s proprietary security chip that brings with it a whole set of new issues that are directly related to security being verifiable and trustworthy. Apple’s “security” chips have all been hacked to date, both the ones in iPhones and MacBooks, leaving permanent backdoors, and Pixel is going to be no different with a refusal to open source the chips.
It is not insult to insult people that insult everyone. It is facts. Calling a Nazi a Nazi for example would not be an insult. Micay and other clowns have harassed FlorisBoard and Bromite devs on GitHub trackers by falsely calling them “neonazis” and other things, just as example. They deserve not just scrutiny but a lot of bashing for the horrible things they do to FOSS community members and all kinds of people, and they will receive every single bit of it for dodging accountability.
