COPR outdated

[secretmango]

This COPR from samsepi0l is very up to date, though it seems to be private?

The COPR which links your repo is very outdated.

The official COPR is even worse, not even supporting F37

Hi, sorry for late reply.

Indeed, I spoke to him in beginning 2023.
I created the repo because he didn't want to maintain the project anymore.
He helped me a lot for this stuff.

We can say my repo is the "official" new one. (even if it doesn't mean anything).
I don't use Linux anymore, but I'm still trying to maintain the project.

To be clear, my repo is the exact copy of his repo.
I'm not a dev, I'm not affiliated with noatsecure or his project or anything like that, I just liked his projet. That said, I'll do what I can to maintain the kernel-hardened package as long as I can/will.

You may like to join the secureblue project, to avoid duplicating effords. I am curious, why don't you use Linux anymore and what instead?

They don't build the hardened kernel currently though

Don't wanna sry. And I'm not knowledgable enough.
For Linux, I'm tired of trying to secure it correctly. And on top of that:

No problem! Yes the state of Linux Security is not great, but progress is being made! Flatpak is only lacking complex weird apps that need to install their own addons like QGis, IDEs or RStudio, and yes even though many many apps are in a very bad state, more and more apps do use portals. Or they are simply very old and secure projects like Libreoffice, where for some reason I just dont expect viruses.

But it is true, that a lot needs to be done, and maybe that involves portals for everything. I mean xdg-download, xdg-documents etc are a thing, so the foundations are done completely. It just takes too much time and there is too little force to make projects implement secure defaults, as Linux is an often third priority OS.
