as much of a hell as this will sound, it's still a lot cleaner and less burny then propriteary operating systems, like windows, mac, chrome os, or /we

my
#linux flavor recommendations stem from a perspective of attack vectors
#systemd is in a large part a large attack surface, as well as operating systems which generalize use while building for
#systemd or using
#glibc instead of
#musclibc, then using
#aur and
#aurhelpers or in the case of debian, random community builds and repos, can be a big risk
even though i use
#gentoo as a more trust worthy os, after understanding linux space more, i wouldn't /trust/ it necessarily, because even i pull a few packages from git based repos, and git is not secure, at all. not to mention, it takes some time to poke through packages for cves, or using tools like
#glsa (https://security.gentoo.org/glsa) to monitor security threats
then there's also the issue of avoiding micro code updates, and not including those packages for higher risk attack vectors
