ARM chips have ascended to a new level, they are the backdoor

AMD Platform Security Processor

The PSP itself represents an ARM core (ARM Cortex-A5) with the TrustZone extension which is inserted into the main CPU die as a coprocessor.

If you're ever lonely just remember that you may have Intel Management Engine inside your computer

and drinking entire reservoirs of water for cooling!

Of course it will be Linux based, building an entire operating system, especially one acceptable by today's standards, is a ton of work. Not something you do over a few months with a small team of dedicated engineers. Linux serves as a great starting point to (relatively) quickly build a very usable desktop operating system that can be fully independent from the rest of the world if it so desires to be.

I'd definitely recommend trying something like Fedora, it's a great distribution for beginners and comes with everything you'd need out of the box to just go about your day and you can try it out and mess around with it without actually installing it to your system. You can install software & update your system with a graphical interface, you can manage your files with a graphical interface, and you can change pretty much every setting that matters with a graphical interface. It's not as scary as you may think and I promise you will most likely never need to "type up lines of instructions to do what Windows can do with a double click". Want to install Element (the Matrix client) for example? Open up the GNOME software center, search "Element", click install, done.

Which you will most likely be able to disable with a policy.json just like Librewolf does with Pocket and other Mozilla services. I personally rather just build Firefox from Mozilla's sources and use my own configuration rather than having to put trust into some third-party to do that for me. Though I understand that is definitely not everyone's cup of tea, so I guess Librewolf is good enough for the majority of people. Though I'd be weary because a lot of the settings Librewolf enables (namely the things under privacy.resistFingerprinting) break a lot of websites which some people may not want to deal with. In that case, I'd just take Arkenfox's configuration and remove all that stuff from it and call it a day.

LoongArch is their domestic RISC ISA that isn't related to MIPS, which is what the chips in this post are. They're actually pretty solid and compare performance wise with relatively modern low-spec x86 equivalents from Intel & AMD (you can see some basic benchmarks towards the end of the YouTube video I linked below).

Hands on with China's Loongson 3A6000 PC: It works!

I find it kind of wholesome as well, it gives off very heavy "look at what we're able to achieve!" kind of feelings. If things were paraded around like this under capitalism, it would just be one big huge ad to get you to buy the product.

Hello fellow Soviet space dog!

I wish.

Edit: My Neovim just got 100x better.

Welcome to the bright side! If you're ever stuck and need help or just have a question, feel free to ask and I'm sure I or one of the many resident Hexbear Linux nerds will stop by!
