I found this new privacy-focused distro which is being developed, and thought it is something to consider in the future. It’s still fairly early in development, but it would be interesting to see what changes over time.
Some interesting defaults:
3 browsers preinstalled: Brave (customized with better privacy settings), Mullvad, and Tor
Signal desktop
MAC address randomization
Mullvad DNS
If you’ve seen this distro being discussed elsewhere, I’m aware of the IPv4 vs. IPv6 issue, but I think this distro is a good step in the right direction anyway.
KDE puts me off from trying. It reminds me too much of windows by the looks of it and I can’t get myself to like something that looks like Windows.
But since this is extremely experimental, I’m sure this will make news again when they get a lot better and useful for privacy enthusiasts who need something between Fedora and Tails/Whonix.
I was also a bit hesitant about KDE, not because of the appearance, but because it can be buggy. I prefer customized GNOME, or some other middle-ground DE like Cinnamon or Budgie. The GNOME customizations that Zorin and Pop OS have done are good examples, although Pop OS will focus on its own new DE in the future.
But once new distros become more established, they often start to support 2 or more DE’s, so maybe they’ll support another one in the future. Let’s see.
It’s nice to see but I would rather this be a bunch of scripts than a standalone distro, good for developer but I wouldn’t use a one-person dsitro. it’s just too risky.
The GitHub page says it’s a group of students in Barcelona, but they really should show some evidence of that, so that people know it has a better chance of being supported in future.
But I wish them all the best with it and hope it turns out great.
