I’m currently embracing the way of privacy and anonimity and saw the repo of hackliberty, they say to use alpine linux but I was also looking to stuff like openBSD or just hardening the arch build I use rn, what do you think about that? openBSD could be a good choice as daily drive or I should follow the community and try alpine, sorry if the question is dumb but I’m still learning.

    It is truly a rabbit hole

    I use Alpine on my desktop. I would like to know more about why it was cited as a good choice. I’ve used many distributions since I switched to Linux (in 2006) and I never had the impression that Alpine was a hardened distribution. I will say that I have had no issues with it and feel that the community is quite friendly, reactive, and helpful.

    In the end, it depends on you threat model and use. Containers are a good idea, flatpaks are regarded by some as a good way to protect privacy… I am regularly updating my extremely basic guide because little things change so frequently.
