My approach is to have a hidden OS. Either via a hidden bootmenu, or better yet transparently boot into a virtualized guest by default. With secure boot and encryption, things can …

It's about not putting your data in the hands of a US company. Collaboration can be managed by offline servers that facilitate that. Not everything needs to be in a web page.

That's very fair, I've certainly tinkered with stuff for the fun of it when there were easier or more suitable alternatives.

For building specific packages with particular flags, wouldn't slackbuilds have been sufficient?

They did more so than they did as losers.

If it wasn't for performance, what was gained in using it over something like Slackware and building only the packages you needed to?
