Sounds like kernel mode DRM or some similarly unwanted bullshit.
It's probably built on systemd's Secure Boot + immutability support. As said above, it's about who controls the keys. It's either building your own castle or having to live with the Ultimate TiVo. We'll see.

> Sounds like kernel mode DRM or some similarly unwanted bullshit. Look, I hate systemd just as much as the next guy - but how are you getting "DRM" out of this?
Who is this for / what problem does it solve?
I guess security? Or maybe reproducability?

So LP is or has left Microsoft ? >We are building cryptographically verifiable integrity into Linux systems I wonder what that means ? It could be a good thing, but I tend to think it could be a privacy nightmare depending on who controls the keys.
The events includes a conference title "Remote Attestation of Imutable Operating Systems built on systemd", which is a bit of a clue.
Can someone smarter than myself describe immutability versus atomicity in regards to current operating systems on the market?
Atomicity means you can track every change, and every change is so small that it affects only one thing and can be traced, replayed or rolled back. Like it's going from A to B and being able to return back to A (or going to B again) in a determinate manner.
1. How will the company make money? (You have probably been asked that a million times :).)
2. Similar to the sibling: what are the first bits that you are going to work on.
At any rate, super cool and very nice that you are based in EU/Germany/Berlin!
