The point is complete transparency into everything happening on your computer through installed application, operating system, or loaded website. Absolutely nothing would be running as an obfuscated binary.
The source to build it is not just 'open'. All running binaries would be able to be mapped to their corresponding source.
- junon 5y agoAgain, we don't "obfuscate" binaries to make them harder to decipher. We do it because debug symbols are massive and cause a lot of bloat and sometimes even performance hits. If you want a system like that, just compile Linux and all of your tools in debug mode. But again, why do this when you can just recompile from source? This is a gross misunderstanding of how computers work, I feel.
