It is true, I haven’t found anything akin to sandboxes in any other ROM. However, if you contain your apps inside a workspace, that seems fairly sandboxed to me, for the most part. It is unfortunate that Google’s mobiles are not as repairable.
Let us know what you end up buying. I wonder if sandboxing can be implemented in other ROMs through some modifications in the Kernel (it’s Linux after all).
I’m very new to the Wayland vs Xorg: could someone tell me why having a compositor work as a compositor, server and client (window manager) is a good idea? Doesn’t this limit customisation? If someone wants to create a window manager, they’re going to have to implement a lot more software than just their product. I thought abstracted software with stable interfaces was king in software, other than having performance issues (I believe Wayland solves some of these problems).
So, if I’m on IceWM/Ratpoison and want to switch, do I manually convert my config, or do I have equivalent WMs in Wayland?
Wtf, I didn’t know that Libreboot wasn’t fully libre any more. I agree with the FSF’s ideology here. The only reason to run Libreboot over Coreboot was 100% FOSS, and if that’s not the case, then there is no point to it anymore.
Thanks for mentioning the other projects, I’ll take a look
Agreed. Was just looking at Podman’s documentation the other day, and even though it’ll run on distributions without systemd, for a second I thought cgroups might not even work without systemd. Glad that’s not the case though, but I’m predicting a few problems down the road simply because I plan to use Alpine.
