I didnt know these existed!
What is this? These are images based on ublues “starting-point” toolkit to create modified variants of Fedora Atomic (the name for all atomic, immutable etc distros).
This means everyone can create the Distro they prefer, with programs, settings, services, udev rules, wallpapers, hardening etc. exactly as they want, while keeping just these diverging from upstream.
Have a look at this, Linux Mint ;D
So these images use GrapheneOS’ses hardened kernel, maintained by anthraxx and the hardened memory allocator maintained by the Divested Computing Team and GrapheneOS
So the result is a project with somewhat of a difficult (but currently working) 3rd party dependency, but the result is very close to upstream and a drop-in replacement.
Just like with ublue, all you need to do is rebasing to the unsigned image, rebooting and rebasing to the signed image. The guide is in the repos!
Its important to test it, and help the developers maintain the components!
Maybe it’s an attempt at the chromium OS way of life?
True! You could use Webapps for many things.
I have to say I dont like google but I very much like a streamlined and efficient OS like Android or ChromeOS.
Even having a webview is so important… wtf is electron, why??
But you just lack so many features. Like people saying they are okay with no doubleclick or even right click, thats so bad.
I also like the security aspects, but Chromium OS limits me too much. I can see Android getting to a point I can use it, given the apps.
I would appreciate if there was a better way to create Android apps though. Something libre, stable and included in major distro repos would be nice. I think Debian has made some advancements in regards to that?
