You might want to disable KDE's clipboard history too btw, or at least find a solution that doesn't involve copying passwords. Either use the selection instead of the clipboard, or use password filling through non-clipboard channe

Agreed, but it is definitely not enough, which is why some Debian folks packaged opensnitch.

They do indeed, probably other packages have patches too.

There are numerous privacy issues in distros, some known, most probably unknown, some examples from Debian: https://wiki.debian.org/PrivacyIssues Luckily there are things like opensnitch that can block some of these issues:

Couldn't RFID relay work against those?

Yeah, it was deliberate, to make it easy for most people, who will only want the netinst download.

At least two decades now, here I remember people talking back then about newly introduced CCTV cameras, and making maps of them so people could avoid the surveillance.

Well, the existing i386 port is going to remain as-is for supporting old software (especially games) (but the CPU baseline will likely get increased), it isn't going to be removed, so you would need a new architecture for 32bit-only ha

I will take your old builds, because my current PC is from a dumpster and was made in 2013. I can't afford to buy hardware.

They auto-import CVE feeds into the security tracker, file bugs for Debian maintainers to fix the issues, curate the tracking data, coordinate with upstreams and other distros to get fixes and so on. Some more on the team web page. https:&

The LTS/Freexian people are all Debian members/contributors, so I would not say "Freexian is 100% not Debian" is correct. Basically, some Debian folks got together and started a company to get funding to do an LTS, and a

For Debian s390x (IBM Z), they only employ two people to work on the port, which isn't really enough. I think ppc64el has even less people.

Freexian is for-profit, and all the LTS/ELTS contributors are Debian maintainers, and LTS is part of Debian, while ELTS is publicly available too, but in an external archive. https://wiki.debian.org/LTS https:/&#
