Kabo: > sha123: > >> Depends on how you define “rooted” and “verified boot”. You won’t get the same verified boot on a general purpose Linux as on Android, since Android minimizes trust in persistent state, which is very important for protection against malicious persistence. On Linux even small things like maliciously editing a systemd service file can fully compromise your OS and a reboot won’t safe you. Even if you have secure boot with UKI and dm-verity for /usr, it won’t protect you against this and the only thing it could offer is a somewhat safe reset by deleting all mutable data. On more narrowly purposed devices, like a server or IoT device, you could get meaningful verified boot by discarding all privileged state on reboot. > > Can Immutable distributions solve this? Immutable distros often prevent changes to system files. On this regard, SecureBlue is probably the best distribution
