gollark: You have a "Victus by HP Laptop"?!
gollark: Your sysadmin probably knows the details of *your* infrastructure and code specifically.
gollark: At osmarks.net, we use *highly* stable Arch Linux.
gollark: There's one company which has a highly ethical* workaround, IIRC. They sell Linux kernels with security hardening. Obviously Linux is under GPLv2. So they give you the source and stuff, but also will ban any customers who distribute it from any of their things ever.
