Hello everyone!
Former Security Team Lead at the National Computer Center here. I'm a Security Professional with decades of experience in most Operating Systems and Web Applications.
Recently I've gotten weary of the Global Mega-Corp $100 Billion Linux Eco-System, which still manages to provide an unstable OS experience. I've turned my attention to the rock solid and predictable BSD/Unix world whenever I can use them.
I've created security hardending scripts for most BSDs except for NetBSD which is next in line. What would normally take an experienced SysAdmin an hour to complete, covering kernel mitigations, file system permission, daemon permissions, password encryption, etc can be done in seonds by a new user, with conf file verifications, backups, logging, and pretty printing the output to console.
- FreeBSD
- GhostBSD
- DragonflyBSD
- OpenBSD
For Dragonfly BSD, the fastest BSD, with a filesystem in the news lately that recovers itself and provides automatic snapshots down to the file level, I went ever further and created a rice for it using AwesomeWM. You are in luck if you have a Thinkpad T495 because I also wrote a full installation script for it for DF!
In addition to that I did it right and got explicit permission for Logo use or attained sponsorship and included the Wallpaper+Icon pack you see above.
You grab it all for my free on my self-hosted git repo for free at: https://quadhelion.dev/
Although I use a custom License which is somewhere between copyleft and copyright, it is generous enough to allow you to accomplish whatever task you wish and provide protections for my work and future oppourtunities for me.
I'm not liking the direction GitHub is going but you can find my work there: https://github.com/wravoc
I hope you find it useful and you are free to ping me here or write to my email listed on the main website page with any concerns.
Thanks,
- Elias

I wish I understood what you are talking about. I’m too old and stupid to get off Windows.
That's what MS wants you to believe.
Small, iterative steps, my friend!
Small steps like what? There's no small steps in changing lifelong OS
There are. You start by switching userland.
Virtualisation allows you to dip your fingers into coreutils with no consequences.
Once userland is familiar - switching the OS is much less painful.
