How to make Linux more trustworthy

There's a really interesting open hardware project that's developing a Raspberry Pi competitor, "LowRISC".

If they end up fully blob-less (no firmware blobs, open chip designs, open board layout) they're going to be the first group to achieve that ever AFAIK, so I'm on the edge of my seat for it.

Yes, it's a very interesting project. I'm already subscribed to their list, I got on their site accidentally. If they do not succeed, the next best thing is to wait until ARM gets powerful enough, and hope they don't go down the orwellian route, like Intel and AMD.

I'd heard of lowRISC, didn't really realize that was their goal. That would be phenomenal.

Also, I have to ask: is your username a Quantum Thief reference?
