#2Weird to me that more people are not working on Redox OS in this context.

#3Is the author the same person that talks about Inclusivity, and then posts screencaps of other people they are having disagreements with to twitter, for their followers to sneer at? [1]
Is this the same person who uses the departure of a developer as a reason to "fix" a community [2], when the mailmap of one of their projects shows they are referring to their own faked departure? [3]
This stuff doesn't make the Alpine Linux project look good. I totally see that its very rude to attack a person like this, but i think its abusive behavior and needs to be called out.

#4It's great to see that more people are still working on this and that people have an interest.
If you are interested in this kind of thing, then you'll also want to check out LibreBoot[1] and Bootstrappable Builds[2]. The latter is working with stage0 [3] and mes [4] to bootstrap Guix (among other projects.) All of that is further down the chain, but we'll need it if we want to build trustworthy systems.

Why would that be necessary? They can if they want, I'm excited about Redox too, but Linux and the GNU ecosystem is already free software.

#6What was the thing that detracted from the corebooted Thinkpad's trustworthiness?

Wish modern hardware had better support for this. I don't think I'll ever trust their proprietary firmwares. The problem is becoming so widespread. All kinds of peripherals have firmware now. Who knows what they're doing. Did that storage device really delete the data or is it just pretending? Only way to be sure is to physically destroy the device.

#8The machines that get 5/5, do they have open hardware? I heard somewhere that there's this thing called microcode that resides in the processor and could contain backdoors. Is that taken into account here?

#9Stopped reading at "Macbook is ... as trustworthy as the Libreboot ThinkPad". Anyone who trusts closed source, proprietary, for-profit platforms from PRISM partners doesn't know what they're talking about.

Corebooted Thinkpads are the gold standard. Don't listen to this article - it's utter nonsense - the author even recommend Libreboot which is effectively abandonware barely maintained by one unstable individual.
