[$] PureOS: freedom, privacy, and security

Post Syndicated from original https://lwn.net/Articles/841105/rss

A recent blog
post
from Purism—the company that developed PureOS to run on its security-focused
hardware—celebrates three years of FSF endorsement
of the Linux distribution. While this endorsement is an achievement that is not as
highly valued by our communities as one might think, the work done to
obtain and maintain that endorsement is useful even to those who disdain
the FSF or disagree with its definition of what makes a distribution “free”. While
Purism and PureOS have been on our radar
for a few years now, it seems worth a look at where things have gone with
the distribution—and the company behind it.
