If anyone is interested in an extremely secure linux distro: https://tails.boum.org/



Great for specific purposes, but not exactly a computer 'you own' and want to do things with.

Tails always starts from the same clean state and everything you do disappears automatically when you shut down Tails.

Ie, nothing persists, which means you loose everything each time.

OpenBSD is also an extremely secure operating system. But also not terribly practical as a long term desktop environment.

Plus it doesn't solve issues with underlying hardware trusts.


Can you please comment a bit about why you think OpenBSD is impractical as a desktop OS?
