Key point: „To be secure, you should always use the latest long-term stable kernel. The key word here is “latest.” It’s not enough to use an LTS […] [or at least] Continuously update to the latest kernel release, either major or stable.“
True. I tried some other rather light-weight distros but no other gave me a comparable polished experience.
Tried it out as a last resort on an old ThinkPad … and had it running for some 5 years. This is a seriously good daily driver!
Maybe I expressed it a bit awkwardly. The other version has some integrations for syncing with Dropbox etc. and some third-party libraries. Strongbox zero is stripped of all of that.
I really like Strongbox on Mac for managing my Keepass-DBs. It is very well integrated and there even is a „no phoning home“ version that strictly runs locally.
Xubuntu - great ootb configuration, lightning fast on my old thinkpad without compromising on functionality
Wasn‘t there a crunchbang project putting this nicely together with debian? I remember it fondly, but that is centuries ago…
