Due to Alex Jones liquidating his personal assets including Free Speech Systems LLC, we have decided to rebrand as incognitOS Linux.
Why?
For legal reasons, of course.
Due to the liquidation of Free Speech Systems LLC, the Infowars name and all ensuing properties associated with Infowars – including the hexagon logo – will soon be in the hands of a corporation or an individual who will most likely pursue legal action against any and all who use any Infowars branding without permission of the new copyright holders.
There is no telling who or what will buy his liquidated assets. It could be his ex-wife Kelly Nichols who has sought for years to buy the company just to shut it down. It could also be a Soros entity such as Media Matters who would love nothing more than to remove Alex Jones’ audiovisual content from the internet by using the DMCA.
So how will incognitOS Linux differ from InfowarsOS?
You’ll still get the same desktop Linux experience. You’ll still get privacy tools. You’ll still get the Brave Browser.
What you WON’T get is built-in access to Infowars websites including the main website or Banned.Video (which will also be taken offline).
And to freshen things up, we will be installing the latest software and security updates, but with a catch. Instead of using the Debian Sid branch (which is notorious for causing updates to break systems), we will be switching to the Debian Bookworm branch. And when the Debian Trixie branch becomes the new stable branch, we will update to that branch as well and release a new incognitOS Linux.
You’ll still get the latest and greatest Linux kernel.
And of course, incognitOS Linux will give you the freedom of installing software from repositories which respect your freedom of choice: Debian and Flathub. You won’t find any support for Snap, a restrictive app store from Canonical who has the final say of what is and isn’t allowed in the Snap Store.
Canonical’s overdependence on the Snap Store – as well as the slow phasing out of support of Debian/Apt and Flatpak on Ubuntu – is precisely why InfowarsOS – now incognitOS Linux – moved to a Debian codebase. (Before 2023, InfowarsOS was based on Ubuntu, but Canonical’s tyrannical dealings with Snap caused us to reject Ubuntu and move to Debian.)
For the time being, our InfowarsOS ISOs will still be available, but once the new incognitOS Linux ISO has been tested and made available, all past editions of InfowarsOS will be removed from our MediaFire cloud hosting service.
Thanks to the hundreds of people who have downloaded InfowarsOS, whether you loved it, liked it, sort-of liked it, disliked it, or downright hated it. All of you keep this project alive, and we will keep this project alive unless Debian goes away or is – and I shudder at the thought of it – bought out by Canonical or some globalist Big Tech entity who doesn’t respect software freedom.
