      This is the best choice IMHO. You have a rock solid OS (Debian) and all possible taken measures to harden it with Kicksecure patch.

          The kicksecure documentation is well written. Go here for distro-morphing of Debian 12, step by step things to do are pretty explicit and you can even copy the command lines if you think you’ll make a mistake…

            Does Kicksecure implement proprietary software into Debian? Personally me, I run OpenRC and the linux-libre kernel on my Debian 12 system on a Libreboot laptop with fully free software. Haven’t used Kicksecure in awhile.

              Awesome!

              You have the holy grail of Free Software

              Richard Stallman approves!

              I really like Linux libre kernel but it has some downsides because it doesn’t have patchs to fix some critical vulnerabilities. Libreboot is just a distant dream unfortunately few devices are compatible with it.

              I don’t think so, mostly it’s hardening, and few security related software, all FOSS

                  According to their Wiki, other Distros (including DE) are not supported/documented and if you do it’s at your own risk. Personally, I wouldn’t dare trying that.

      Kicksecure is a good choice for an install on bare metal. For a level-plus secure and private system you can even install a Whonix VM on Kicksecure, so you can use Kicksecure daily use your Whonix VM to get on internet. It’s a great combo i thinkk, as they use the same base, the same DE (xfce) and have a lot of defaults programs in common.
