Grsecurity is no longer open source

...

What a joke, Linus wouldn't even mainstream their shit. Then they get angry at him and OpenBSD. Popcorn time.

How much does grsec cost? Their site say "email us for a price" so it's probably sky high. But even if it was $10 I still wouldn't buy it tbh

Back when they locked down the stable kernels, it was $200/month. These days, it looks like they find out how much you have in your bank account and jew you accordingly.

Looks like gentoo hardened will be maintaining grsecurity patches for the LTS 4.9 Linux Kernel. If you stick with 4.9, you'll have grsecurity for years.

I was with you until you shat on Android. Not because you are wrong, but because Android leverages much of the OpenBSD libc code.
It just seems weird to shit on an OS that is actually openly using OpenBSD stuff when you are shilling for OpenBSD.

Does grsecurity even matter for desktop users? A userland application compromise for desktop users = gameover.

Unless you are running containers or sandboxes, a hardened kernel doesn't matter for desktop users.

this better be b8

It doesn't. There is always SELinux if users are too poor to pay for their free software.

SELinux/Apparmor relies on the security of the kernel, it can be bypassed with a kernel exploit.
