secureblue is a security-focused desktop and server Linux operating system built as OCI bootable container images on top of Fedora Atomic Desktops using BlueBuild. It hardens the system with SELinux, hardened_malloc, kernel hardening, USBGuard, and attack-surface reductions while aiming to remain usable for everyday Linux users.

Use cases

  • harden a desktop linux installation against exploits
  • security-focused linux distro for daily use
  • hardened server os built from coreos
  • replace sudo and pkexec with run0 on linux
  • lock down flatpak sandbox permissions
  • immutable linux os with secure boot support

When to choose

  • you already intend to use Linux and want the most secure practical option
  • you want an immutable, image-based Fedora system with hardening preconfigured
  • you need a hardened server or edge OS based on Fedora CoreOS

When to avoid

  • security is your absolute first priority and you can use Qubes OS or similar
  • you need broad compatibility with X11 apps, AppImages, or anti-cheat games without extra setup
  • you want a traditional package-based distro with full customization of the base system
