Amazon denied Talos Linux on the AWS Marketplace as they can't scan to see we dont allow SSH password auth.... We dont run SSH at all, but they cant scan it, so no listing...
We don't use fob watches as time sources either....

We are pleased to announce that our Omni code base is now publicly available under the BUSL license!
This means that you can now trial Omni by running it yourself or even run it for free for personal use!

Interesting fact: redhat enterpise Linux had 821 security advisories in last 13 months. Talos Linux had one.
The power of a minimal OS designed for one thing - kubernetes. Can’t have all the vulnerabilities if you don’t run all the services…
