- IPv4 bittorrent without having to worry about copyright trolls.

- Having access to IPs registered in GeoIP to a specific country, to be able to connect to certain sites with a per-country whitelist.

- Being able to connect to sites or irc networks that censor tor, without providing your home address to those places (ISPs sell address and IP address pairs - while all decent VPNs don't ask for your address, or even a credit card and rather take Monero without even requiring the execution of JavaScript).

(Although every attempt is made to blacklist VPN IPs, those intended for censorship bypass purposes have large collections of IPs).

You can just ssh tunnel to your server really.

At the configuring Linux bit you ignore the many suggestions to install proprietary software and install GRUB for the bootloader and the version of Linux to use is;

https://linux-libre.fsfla.org/pub/linux-libre/releases/6.17-gnu/linux-libre-6.17-gnu.tar.lz

https://linux-libre.fsfla.org/pub/linux-libre/releases/6.17-gnu/linux-libre-6.17-gnu.tar.lz.sign

(needs lzip, but b2zip should already be installed);

https://linux-libre.fsfla.org/pub/linux-libre/releases/6.17-gnu/linux-libre-6.17-gnu.tar.bz2

https://linux-libre.fsfla.org/pub/linux-libre/releases/6.17-gnu/linux-libre-6.17-gnu.tar.bz2.sign

If that fails to compile, you determine if the issue is with your .config (`make menconfig`) and fix that, or if the release is broken, you downgrade to an older release and try again.

There's also the option of installing the proprietary Gentoo Linux sources (will auto-enable all the flags needed by portage and openrc and then you can migrate that .config to GNU Linux-libre later) and running the corresponding deblob script before compiling - for example proprietary release 6.17 would have cleanup script;

https://linux-libre.fsfla.org/pub/linux-libre/releases/6.17-gnu/deblob-6.17

https://linux-libre.fsfla.org/pub/linux-libre/releases/6.17-gnu/deblob-6.17.sign

- The holy GNU GRUB OS bootloader is the one to use.

- Unless you are doing LUKS2 FDE, or have a bunch of LVM partitions, GRUB allows you to not use a RAMinit.

You'll need eselect-repostiory and add the without-systemd repository so you can avoid systemd-utils by installing opentmpfiles or hardenedtmpfiles and eudev.

Gentoo is an option, but the developers keep sneaking proprietary software in and putting the wrong LICENSE on it (making it hard to avoid the proprietary software).

As all of the provided Linux ebuilds are proprietary, you need to manually go configure and install GNU Linux-libre, which is somewhat hard.

Imagine thinking that only Core i5 ThinkPads exist.

You can go desolder the Intel NIC to remove the ME processor entirely on any GNUbooted ThinkPad and it'll boot just fine.

All RISC-V SoC's I've seen have been absolutely proprietary.

Rust is a proprietary language - GNU/SoC will be rust free.

Storage and RAM easily swapped out and for many models you can swap the CPU.

I can't really tell if it's all snakeoil or actually effective, as it's proprietary.

I suspect some vulnerabilities are fixable with such method, but many aren't - especially kernel stuff that even admin users aren't allowed to touch.
