i know what the Liberated-Linux-Kernel is for but i do NOT KNOW what the regular non-liberated Linux-kernel is FOR … the non-Liberated one contains one or more blackboxes in there so i would not adventure further than this …
the Debian distribution has 3 ‘moving-forward-channels’ :
- Stable (current Buster. packages stay frozen until the next release and only security updates get in if you let them)
- Development-Testing (currently Bullseye 11 < middle ground updated packages and so-so security)
- Development-Bleeding (codenamed ‘Sid’ or the bad boy < likes to mess things up so it’s only if you know how to live on the bleeding-edge)
PureOS is based on the first two. One of the differences is that it has a liberated-Linux-kernel out-of-the-box and if you don’t do anything to mess that up then that IS how it is going to STAY.
