Why are updates important for a type writer?
It's a type writer connected to the internet. You'll probably want those updates to at least cover discovered security vulnerabilities.
What if it was never given access to anything but my local network? Not trying to ask stupid questions. I know literally only enough to be dangerous to myself.
Is that local network isolated from the internet? No connection, or no port forwarding?
Either way I wouldn't recommend it.
You can do whatever you want. You said email in the title so I was going off based on that.
Man you're roight. I'll use Hannah Montana Linux instead
For a modern OS developed in a socialist country I'd go with Deepin. It's currently Debian based but I think the developers are working on their own base.
Hmm ok. What are the features of Deepin?
It honestly has one of the most beautiful desktop environments out there. It also has a full suite of apps similar to GNOME. There are tour videos on YouTube if you search for one.
Theres something about it which makes it look like a cash register and i really like that.
If your looking for an AES distro that will likely be easier to find and update, there's always Deepin.
Or nova OS
First questions are: is all the source code available, and has it had a third-party security audit
I mean I'm ok if North Korea has the pictures of my butthole and husband's
Seeing as the version leaked was released in 2013, I wouldn't recommend it due to a combination of security concerns & hardware compatibility. Furthermore, seeing as the source code is not available, it is near impossible to audit the code. It is my understanding that prior to RedstarOS, they used Red Had Enterprise Linux, so using a recompilation such as Rocky Linux may be a good way to stay close to their OS of choice.
Don't
But I wanna! ';-;
It's fine if it's fully disconnected from the internet, I guess. If not, just think of how many zero day vulnerability patches you'll be missing out on from 2013 to today. Plus, it will probably have to be hardware from before that date.
would it run on a raspberri pi?
Probably not, the only images available on the internet I've found were for the x86 architecture of CPUs. Raspberry Pi's use the ARM architecture.
I honestly wouldn't go for it, you could mod some other OS and make it all red and yellow if you'd like something like that.
I actually prefer more of a purple and white theme
So you choose the North Korean os?
It’s better to criticize the actual content rather than just the country of origin :)
Yes. That's the best socialist country.
