Do you simply not care that this Linux computer that you have such warm feelings about is fairly easy to pwn (in part because of the lack of verified boot and in part because desktop Linux software is just much easier to pwn than the systems software on a Mac or a Chromebook or an iPhone or an Android phone) such that if you ever got to be an effective activist against some government or some powerful industrial interest, that government or industrial interest could fairly easily eavesdrop on everything you do with this Linux computer?
That doesn't sound much like protecting your individual rights.
It's just not. Otherwise, all servers would be running your beloved iOS, wouldn't they?
>in part because of the lack of verified boot
This does not matter. I can generate my own keys.
>easier to pwn [...] than [...]an iPhone
Lol... If anything, phones are more vulnerable because you have less access to sandboxes and VMs.
