That was a very good read, but added Qubes and (from the comments)
Genode to my list.

It seems like there's a divergent "force" at work somehow, I feel like
I can't find solid ground.  (And then I remind myself that I've only
been looking in my spare time, for a couple of weeks, and it's far too
soon to make firm judgements.)

"The history of mankind for the last four centuries is rather like that of
an imprisoned sleeper, stirring clumsily and uneasily while the prison that
restrains and shelters him catches fire, not waking but incorporating the
crackling and warmth of the fire with ancient and incongruous dreams, than
like that of a man consciously awake to danger and opportunity."
