3 Linux Alternatives To ChromeOS in c/[email protected]

Peppermint OS is created with remixing tools and Ubuntu Web is created by manually modifying an existing ubuntu iso, maybe consider distros that are actually developed instead of this 'freeware remixes'

I'm aware of the work of Daniel Micay since several years, I'm looking to add GrapheneOS for the next version (October 2021), I need to contact him for details about his work

Debian was (not only) created as community project in reaction to Slackware being led by a single person to my recall. How much they where similar or divergent back in the day is far beyond me

Well, Rocky and AlmaLinux are based on RHEL sources, while CentOS Stream is between Fedora and RHEL to my understandings

In the last years have spawned an increasingly number of Arch based but it is very rare they have a "State of the Art" packaging, while I'm increasingly interested to add distribution that are real open source projects and provide a decent quality

Do you know any Linux distros reviewers that is inquisitive about distros being actually open source (public configuration and possibility to build a system image) and respectful of unredestributable proprietary programs (Chrome, Spotify, Oracle Java...), because I don't know any, it is several years that I read news and reviews; these 2 aspects are never present. I don't know if it is the same for video reviews.

Uploading an ISO on SourceForge/OSDN with GPL license or similar but no public configuration and no possibility to build yourself the system image isn't "making open source"

Also a reminder that Chrome, Spotify, Oracle Java, Visual Studio Code (Microsoft proprietary binary) have unredestributable license unless you have an agreement with them.
