Trapped by your tech provider? You're not alone! 🔒
Vendor lock-in is silently costing businesses millions and limiting their digital freedom.

The Threat Beneath: Hidden In-Chip Operating Systems
Modern CPUs from Intel and AMD ship with undocumented, embedded operating systems (Intel ME, AMD PSP) that run below your OS—at ring -3—with full system access and zero user control.
What’s at risk?
Persistent backdoors, remote code execution, firmware implants
Nation-state exploitation (NSA, China’s APTs, Shadow Brokers leaks)
Hidden microcontrollers that can operate even when powered “off”
On your main Linux distro, what are you currently using?

Xorg. Only devices I have using Wayland are mobile ARM devices. Distro wise Devuan and Artix are at the top of my list due to how they are handling XLibre.

I have been gaming since 1992 and building PCs since 2003. I enjoy Linux, supporting FOSS projects and am a tinfoil hat connoisseur.
Many FOSS projects rely on donations. If you have money to spare but don't know which to donate to take a look at the above links on Ko-fi, Github, and Open Collective. Anything on there that I have sponsered or contributed to is something I have found to be worthy.
