OK. I have finally gotten around to reconstituting my Linux system, using Debian Buster - after a major crash.
These days I tend to regard Linux as only slightly less compromised than Win, especially after doing a bit of research on the heartbleed fiasco.
But overall there have been some improvements, and some nastiness such as wayland, and systemd - but I can deal with them for now.
Thats the problem. For now.
I want to essentially take the system 'off grid'. I have Anaconda for Python, and had to go to git Node since the Buster distro does not allow npm, and even wiped my node libs when I tried to update gyp.
The distro forums are full of greybeards who tow the party line and try to cancel any discussions of actually hacking the system.
I am looking for ways to assume complete control over the distro - from running Wayland as root (cannot find the right uuid instruction in source), and even disabling pam - I have my own security protocols and I dont give a rats azz about 'user' or 'file' security. I disable sshd, rdp, and anything that tries to open unwanted ports.
I am looking for any links, etexts (tpb, or libgen) or forums that can answer the basic questions to *hacking* a Linux (esp. a Debian distro) , particialrly to enable the user complete control over the system and local network (single user). Security is not an issue, insofar as this is not a multiuser system (wife dont count) , and I will happily sacrifice security in some areas to beef up freedom in others. I have absoleutely no 'private' info on this system. Not my name, nor even my real email address. Plus, a beefed up hardware firewall helps.
N.B. - Here I mean hacking in the old fashined sense, not system tweaks like a gui program for changing greeter background. Also: this system is set to NOT update. I expect changes to be permanent (and backed up!)
Any thoughts?
(Also, why so little on hacking the Win microkernel?)
