That doesn't smell good at all. It smells like conflict of interest, it's the kind of initiative, and speech, that we have got too many times already, that ends up to be used to reduce our freedom.

Great, now pottering can decide if your whole system can boot. And if it doesn't, good luck finding out why?

Hopefully no Linux distro I use adopts this tech, I feel this will cause a cybersecurity disaster on Linux instead of bringing security to people in general. As an end user I have no use or desire for what Amutable is wanting to distribute.

On the contrary this sounds awesome from a cybersec perspective. If this is how we can get that work funded - great!

It's not funding anything, that's a private company made by ex-Microsoft employees...

I am just out of words for you.

.. yeah. That'll pay the salaries for these excellent open source developers, allowing them to work on something that brings benefit to Linux usage in secure environment.
