  • People who deeply care about this typically use a distro which has a strong stance on FLOSS software like Debian or Fedora
    Arch Linux is more free on this as long as the user gets a more conveniant way to install everything (even proprietary software)

    the Arch Linux way however is also reading every PKGBUILD (where the license is stated) before installing and if you need to have an easier way to search through licenses just programatically solve this yourself i.e. by using https://github.com/archlinux/aur and going through all branches with a script






  • even consumer SSDs have around 1500 TBW (Terrabytes written) per TB until warrenty excludes any failure
    which means you could write for example every day for 10 years 400 GB on a 1 TB SSD
    this is already a very low estimate, most SSDs do better

    anyway OP mentioned enterprise SSDs which can write 1.0x or 2.0x it’s own size every day for 10 years





  • It’s 2023, we are almost already at Passkeys and you skipped TOTP (basically that “Google Authenticator” does) as 2FA?
    anyway there are a lot of open source TOTP apps available to choose from like Aegis or if you want to sync it something like Bitwarden (Premium or Vaultwarden)
    desktop apps also exist but that would defeat the point probably

    stay away from proprietary apps and do backups of these TOTP secrets or you’ll absolute will lock you out if you loose your phone somehow
