Well the question is will the enterprise Software Vendor like Citrix, IBM, Dell, HP and so on port there Software to this new Package format. Even for today it's difficult to run some SW/HW tools on "Linux" as the vendors support only a small amount of Linux distribution with specific versions.

Well even tails allows to install some packages after when you run it from USB. "You'll always be able to roll your own." of course I can also build my own linux with LFS (=Linux from Scratch) but how many People do this? But you are right, to use Silverblue or not can decide every person on there own.

Oh no. The benefit of Linux is to be able to build your own Setup (Server,Desktop). Now with this "Solution" the user have more and more a closed System where every change creates a lot unnecessary steps to install another software.

I agree that on servers the container runtime makes a lot of sense but not on Desktops where changes happen every day.

I have read the statement on eff https://www.eff.org/deeplinks/2018/05/not-so-pretty-what-you... and can't think about that this is a PR for Signal. I assume that signal will start some e-mail services soon and try now to shade the current mostly safe communication tools in bad light. I hope I'm wrong, the future will it shows.

It would be interesting to know if the https://darkmail.info/ initiate is still active. As far as I understand this solution are the metadata also invisible at the transport level. Can anyone shade a light on this?
