Hi, Im searching for a secure distro for normal daily use for my laptop. Currently Im running arch linux with full disk encryption, secure boot, linux hardened, firewalld and most apps as flatpaks (with some disabled permissions using flatseal). I think its pretty secure laptop but it could be more secure.
Tails and Whonix are the most secure but they are not ment for normal daily use…
There is a lot of new immutable distros. Getting (system) malware is harder to get on them. Im most interested in blendOS, because its based. Does anyone know if it has full disk encryption, secure boot, etc. or can it be done by the user? What about other distros like Fedora Silverblue?
Any other recommendations?
Thank you :)

Openbsd is really good but it is not linux. It doesn’t have as much packages as linux and may perform a bit slower on applications compared to it’s linux counterpart. Also, drivers for some hardware may not be available for Openbsd. Some filesystems like btrfs are not supported.
Still, openbsd and freebsd are worth checking out for learning about UNIX like OSes and routers, servers etc. It can also be daily driven if you can make do with the available packages.
We are talking about programming, studying, surfing the web and average computer usage. OpenBSD is more than enough for all that.
Openbsd IS based. It might not be for the average joe, and it’s never cutting edge. FreeBSD is though. And Netbsd can run on just about anything
