You just described GrapheneOS, by far the best mobile operating system IMO

To quote Software Freedom Conservancy:

For approximately twenty years, Red Hat (now a fully owned subsidiary of IBM) has experimented with building a business model for operating system deployment and distribution that looks, feels, and acts like a proprietary one, but nonetheless complies with the GPL and other standard copyleft terms.

No, they only fucked CentOS, and they made RHEL proprietary last year. Since Ubuntu’s decline, Fedora basically took it’s place. It’s very stable but not extremely outdated, has great security, always supports the newest technologies like Flatpak, Wayland, Pipewire, etc., has good Desktop spins and constantly innovates. The next Fedora KDE release will even completely drop support for X11, which is a good step because it forces developers to adopt Wayland. They also have pretty good immutable spins like Silverblue, Kinoite and others. Other cool distros like Nobara and uBlue are also built on top of Fedora.

Software Freedom Conservancy has a pretty nice page called Give Up GitHub!, definitely check that out

This would be awesome. Fedora has really been one of the best distros lately, hopefully they don’t get fucked by Red Hat in the future.

I always need

• LibreWolf (privacy-focused Firefox fork)
• Some nice terminal emulator like Alacritty or Kitty
• A torrent client
• Emacs
• Strawberry (the music player)

CLI:

• fish shell
• bat
• neovim
• fd
• fzf
• zoxide
• Some other Rust alternatives for GNU coreutils
• GPG
• fun stuff like neofetch, lolcat, asciiquarium, cmatrix, etc.

If you use a Google Pixel Tablet, you can install GrapheneOS and revoke Sensor permissions for all apps.

Imagine being American and not even having health insurance

The developer is German, in Germany it’s pretty common to have a Rechtsschutzversicherung. You pay them monthly or yearly and in exchange you can request legal advice from one of their lawyers af any time. It’s pretty neat.

Framework, System76, Slimbook and Tuxedo are great choices

Why C418 - Cat ?

I generally like Louis Rossmann, but his arguments in the GrapheneOS video were beyond stupid. He says that he can’t trust GrapheneOS because it’s developed by Daniel Micay. I guess he doesn’t understand that GrapheneOS is open source and anyone can see the code. Then he switched back to the proprietary Google ROM. So he’s trusting proprietary software that’s filled with spyware over privacy-respecting open source software that can be audited by anyone.

You don’t seem to understand the situation either and you blindly follow some YouTuber. I’d advise you to overthink your opinion on this topic.
