Yes I have seen some of the…interesting…things danial micay has said in his usual style. However, a persons personality in and of itself is not a guarantee that their core points are wrong. Of course, I would much prefer him to speak in a more matter of fact way with less emotion and rage as for someone like me, who doesn’t understand computer security at the very deep levels, it just makes it all more complicated. I have used kicksecure myself and have never had a problem with it, and I have never come across any group that claim whonix is insecure other than the GrapheneOS crowd.
What makes you think Secureblue is highly shady? I know hardly anything of it and I don’t use any social media, even matrix rooms for open source projects, so I am obviously very out of the loop on such issues!
