Can You Really Trust Your Linux Distro?

Linux distros are everywhere. But how do you know if the one you choose is truly trustworthy? In this video, I demo DistroTrust, an open-source tool I built to scan Linux root file systems for telemetry, repo issues, path shadowing, and other trust signals. Using AnduinOS as a test case, I’ll show you how to generate structured reports, score results, and compare them with Ubuntu and Rocky Linux. Whether you’re a casual user, a homelab tinkerer, or a cybersecurity pro, this walkthrough will give you a reproducible way to measure distro trustworthiness instead of guessing. https://github.com/keepittechie/dtrust https://distrotrust.io Rocky Linux Supported by CIQ: https://ciq.com/products/rocky-linux/ CompTIA Linux+ Certifcation Course https://youtu.be/qNxuTRCRjoQ Remember to Like, Share, and Subscribe if you enjoyed the video!
