N.E.P.T.R

XFCE is still on X11 so it is not a good choice for a secure private OS. GNOME both secures privileged Wayland protocols and has sandboxing for its thumbnailer, among other important security features. KDE is another option, but is kinda over the top for an amnesic distro.

Most of it isnt libvirt but instead LXC containers.

It doesn’t have default support but can with environment variable.

Very cool, love Incus. Wish it had better security options, such as supporting GVisor application kernel.

I did a fresh install of fedora in a VM given 4 cores, 16gb ram, and storage on an NVME SSD. Finally I am getting a reasonable boot time of 6.5 seconds. But on bare metal I can’t get anywhere close to that. Firmware alone takes 15 seconds. Either way, now I know that it isn’t a “Systemd problem”, just that only Systemd gives me this problem.

Idk what is wrong but every fresh install on any Systemd distro (Arch, Fedora, Debian, openSUSE) has the same slow boot on every device I have tried. I have never seen a 5 second boot on anything else but dinit.

Oh, and my disk is a modern M.2 SSD for my workstation.

I have tried. Nothing worked.

The big reason I personally dislike Systemd is bloat. It takes me 6 seconds to boot a windows 11 VM, it takes 20+ with Systemd, and it takes 6 seconds with dinit. On real machines I frequently hit 40 seconds with systemd. Now is that enough of a problem that I am going to switch to Windows (ugh) or Chimera/Artix, probably no. I still find it very annoying.

Plus packages are manually inspected to ensure they meet Flathubs packaging requirements.

openSUSE Slowroll and Secureblue are my favorites ATM. Slowroll for gaming, Secureblue for mobile device. Both are hardened for security because that matters to me.

It is definitely a Firefox fork, the images of the UI are near identical to Firefox, and the one with addons shows the option to search addons.mozilla.org

Ubuntu is a corporate/popular distro. It wouldn’t make much sense to move to do as when it lacks much of the functionality of sudo and isnt in a memory safe language, which is Ubuntu’s goal with replacing user space software with Rust.
