SafetyNet is also an issue on Android as soon as you modify anything or install a custom ROM :/

I hate how corporations name their lock-in bullshit names that make it sound like it’s for the user’s protection when it’s just protecting their garbage monopolies. I’d argue an open platform not under Google’s control is more secure and safer for my data than a Google spy machine.

while typically I would agree, safetynet actually does do a lot to provide a safe execution environment. Yes, it can be used for vendor lock-in BS and drm, however it does also get used to protect privileged apps like banking apps, secure email etc

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Linux is a family of open source Unix-like operating systems based on the Linux kernel, an operating system kernel first released on September 17, 1991 by Linus Torvalds. Linux is typically packaged in a Linux distribution (or distro for short).

Distributions include the Linux kernel and supporting system software and libraries, many of which are provided by the GNU Project. Many Linux distributions use the word “Linux” in their name, but the Free Software Foundation uses the name GNU/Linux to emphasize the importance of GNU software, causing some controversy.
