This last week all Firefox addons were accidentally disabled due to issues in Mozilla certs. Many security measures out there require full, unrevokable trust in the vendor for them to work and this is a great example of the risks with that approach. Imagine if that ever happened with SecureBoot... #infosec

@vincent @todd There is already a application for for Tunnel in PureOS. At the moment it requires pipx to be installed but we are working to package it as *.deb.
These are the installation and configuration instructions:

They where made for PureOS, but with small adaptations it can work in other Debian based disributions. And with bigger adaptations, it can run in other non debian based GNU/Linux distros
Today we've updated the Librem One website with two important documents:
A short guide to staying safe online no matter what online service you are using. Like our policy document we've kept it short and to the point, with links to more detailed, independent resources if you'd like to learn more.
As well as a code of conduct that makes it clear we will respond to reports of harassment, for example on Librem Social, our opt-in social network.
Time to update 🔔

As for features from one to another. I'll go by exclusion. None of the spyware features from win10 to GNU/Linux
