Merge remote-tracking branch 'org-ai-assisted/claude/kind-fermi-od4IG'
-
signing-key-create: avoid duplicate openpgp policy / cert in ~/buildconfig.d Two cleanups inside 'openpgp_policy_setup'. Both files generated here were redundant copies of data that already lived elsewhere: - openpgp-cert.pem in ~/buildconfig.d: only existed to feed 'sq-git policy authorize', which embeds the cert inline in the keyring of the generated policy. Standalone copy was dead weight after. - openpgp-policy.toml in ~/buildconfig.d: for builds where DEBFULLNAME + DEBEMAIL already match an authorization in the shipped project policy (typical for official-maintainer builds), 'sq-git policy authorize' was a no-op, so the home copy was byte-identical to the shipped one. Rework: stage the cert export and the post-authorize policy in ${binary_build_folder_dist}/sq-git-temp/ (re-derived on every run, no clobber concerns). Commit the scratch policy to ${openpgp_policy_file_user} only when (a) authorize produced a real diff vs the shipped project policy AND (b) no user-provided policy already exists there. Pre-provisioned cert in ~/buildconfig.d still takes precedence via openpgp_cert_file_resolved. Net effect on the two complaint scenarios: - Official build with matching maintainer: no ~/buildconfig.d files written; sign-and-tag falls back to the shipped project policy via existing variables.bsh resolution. - CI / user build with default DEBFULLNAME+DEBEMAIL: scratch policy differs (new auth block); committed to ~/buildconfig.d as before, no standalone cert file.

Merge remote-tracking branch 'refs/remotes/org-ai-assisted/master'

local-build-dry-run: track developer-meta-files@master for launch-systemd-container developer-meta-files PR #116 merged, putting the launch-systemd-container composite action on master. Switch from the pre-merge PR-branch SHA pin (3564650a, since force-pushed past on claude/loving-fermat-ZeNGB) to @master branch-tracking, matching every other org-ai-assisted/developer- meta-files reference in this repo's workflows (local-lint.yml, consumer-{claude-code,scorecard,codex-review,codeql-actions}.yml). Single source of truth: action improvements (e.g. the loving-fermat branch's pending CI/ALLOW_LOCAL guard + style sweep) reach this caller the moment they land on master, without a per-consumer sha-bump PR.

More Desktop Operating Systems
-
Alpine is a security-oriented, lightweight distro based on musl libc and busybox. It compiles all user-space binaries as position-independent executables with stack-smashing protection. Install and setup may be quite complex for some new users.
-
Parrot Linux, is a full Debian-based operating system, that is geared towards security, privacy and development. It is fully-featured yet light-weight, very open. There are 3 editions: General Purpose, Security and Forensic. The Secure distribution includes its own sandbox system obtained with the combination of Firejail and AppArmor with custom security profiles. While the Forensics Edition is bundled with a comprehensive suite of security/ pen-testing tools, similar to Kali and Black Arch.
-
Open-source security-oriented operating system for single-user desktop computing. It uses virtualisation, to run each application in its own compartment to avoid data being leaked. It features Split GPG, U2F Proxy, and Whonix integration. Qubes makes is easy to create disposable VMs which are spawned quickly and destroyed when closed. Qubes is recommended by Edward Snowden.
-
Tails is a live operating system (so you boot into it from a USB, instead of installing). It preserves your privacy and anonymity through having no persistent memory/ leaving no trace on the computer. Tails has Tor built-in system-wide, and uses state-of-the-art cryptographic tools to encrypt your files, emails and instant messaging. Open source, and built on top of Debian. Tails is simple to stop, configure and use.
