          You’re putting a lot of faith in whoever packages the ‘distro’.

          Obviously you have the same problem with trusting FOSS software distributions, but it’s mitigated by things like Linus’ Law and reproducible builds.

          That being said, I personally use tiny11 VMs for certain non-critical things at home and work. I’d never use it for anything security related, or as my main OS, as there is a non-negligible chance that it’s compromised (and there’s basically no way of knowing).

            Agree, my main OS is a linux, Tiny11 is only for work (work requires windows softwares, which doesnt run on wine)

      There is nothing in 11 that I want that isn’t already in 10, and what I need from Windows vs. Linux is approaching zero.
