Doesn't it have closed drivers making porting hard? Perhaps you could consider porting it to Pinephone?

Then Librem 5 smartphone might be a better choice.

Which other approach to security do you consider reliable? Through correctness? Through obscurity? https://blog.invisiblethings.org/2008/09/02/three-approaches...

Are talking about this? https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Blue_Pill_(software) It happened in 2006 and never happened after that. I would consider it as secure as it gets.

What is wrong about virtualization? It allows to run all existing software, it doesn't restrict the owner of the device, it is extremely flexible and reliable. And it can be fast, too.

Here is the tablet that can do this: https://puri.sm/products/librem-11 . It can even run Qubes OS.

It looks like you you may be interested in Qubes OS, security oriented operating system relying on strong, hardware-assisted virtualization: https://qubes-os.org . My daily driver, can't recommend it enough.

It's probably impossible to achieve security through correctness, but security through compartmentalization can work. See: https://qubes-os.org .

IP can be correlated with other data to infer the identity. Google ads are everywhere, so Google probably knows, who you are and your IP.

Sell it to insurance companies, employers? Use it to target ads of snake oil to vulnerable people?

Nothing deeper is required. This is already outrageous. You can hardly make it worse.

How so? Qubes OS is the best operating system you can have today to reclaim the control over your computer.

Nevertheless, when Apple decides to kill "your" hardware, you will have no recourse. You are forbidden to manage and update it yourself.

by fsflover 6mo ago
Not supporting old hardware is fine. Forbidding users from updating their hardware themselves is killing it though.

Web apps are indeed better, unless you need an access to hardware, fast computation or similar. But Apple is against web apps, so you're right to abandon them.

You still suffer, because developers who don't want to pay the Apple tax on their apps simply avoid the App Store. You have no access to many good apps at all. Including FLOSS.

A Big Brother dictating what is allowed isn't necessary for your security. Virtualization can be the solution. See: https://qubes-os.org

TPMs can also be based on free software and our own keys. It works well with Heads and Librem Key.
