Looking to upgrade from an old Latitude, curious as to what mobile hardware you folks use for writing your open source projects?

      I’m rather annoyed your acting as a purity commissar in a hardware recommendation thread and you didn’t bother to familiarize yourself with the thing your nay-saying. If your going to drop a its not FOSS purity bomb - you should know why!

      Xen is a GPLv2 microkernel, https://directory.fsf.org/wiki/Xen

      Qubes runs on Xen, and you can run whatever operating system you like inside of Qubes VMs.

        I’m not a purity commissar and I actually don’t agree with the “proprietary software should be impossible to install” thing of FSF. I meant that what runs on the stock Linux kernel may not run on libre kernel and it can’t be a benchmark of FOSS support. Also I’m not talking about VMs

          Qubes is a framework around XEN, the microkernel to share and isolate hardware resouces amongst VMs. Inside of those VMs you can run whatever operating system/kernel you like.

          Qubes is about as FOSS as you can practically get.

            I fully disagree. Is running Windows with all telemetry turned on on the VM is safe? And I may be wrong about Qubes. What I know is that what you get with stock Qubes is not 100% FOSS

            EDIT: I won’t continue this discussion because I decided not to engage in any for now, no matter the topic and who is right
