@eu_os @EC_OSPO #IMHO, it's overdue that @EUCommission & @bsi ban non-#FLOSS & #CCSS in #administration and espechally #CriticalInfrastructure.

• We need #auditable (as in #ReproduceableBuilds!) systems!

Yes. this is a good thing for #ITsec to let end-users know if their system runs #outdated / #vulnerable #Microcode and have #Linux update it.

• OFC this can't fix the systemic issues #ix86 & #amd64 have, but I do think this is such a vital thing that I do want to integrate it into @OS1337 as having some low-level diagnostics and means to fix things is literally the point of said distro!

Consider it a more streamlined "Rescue Linux" which is intended to be #reprpduceable, #auditable and small enough to fit on a #BootROM!

#Intel #ITsec #Updates

@eemmaa personally, I do intent to copy that with @OS1337 because #ReproduceableBuilds are as much of an important step in having an #auditable system as having unrestricted (#opensource licensed!) #sourcecode availability & access...

Tangents aside, people are free to create forks and even branches that include #SystemD or use #BusyBox:

That is the #Freedom of #FLOSS and in fact for anything outside the 1440kB target we'd accept #SystemD since it works and solves a lot of issues...

Granted OS/1337 isn't a #demo first but rather tries to take the concept of #tomsrtbt and @w84death 's #Floppinux and tries to make it something that is useable and can be extended to arbitrary complexity if one desires to...

It's about making a tiny #Linux distro that is #reproduceable and #auditable...

It won't replace @ubuntu or any other big distro, likely it won't even replace #mkroot from #toybox but it should be a clean and level foundation for small #IoT and #EmbeddedSystems projects and products...

Something that is easy to build and customize and port to other platforms...

And we're open for contributions:

/e/OS = #privacy by design, which makes it an exception on the mobile market.

That is what academic research found, comparing data sent by Samsung, Xiaomi, Huawei, Realme, LineageOS and /e/OS smartphones.
