I'm one of those garage hackers, I have a quote from PCBWay, $286 for 20 boards including assembly service. I also got quotes from companies in U.S.
- $2700 from a popular company in bay area - $2000 from another new pcb company.
With tarrifs, my PCBWay order is around $789.
I'm new to PCB Design, I cannot afford to do $2700 mistakes, with PCBWay hardware is more accessible.

Ubuntu, debian, armbian etc all have pipelines, build processes to create an image file where the users can install. The processes where one can compile/build/package are already there (signing the image might require more steps with access to keys). Documentation and the tooling for such processes can be improved and made more user friendly.
With the evolving supply chain attacks, US Government advised companies to better understand their software supply chains. With transparent and repeatable builds this goal would be much more simple using the approach documented above.
We can innovate on more ideas for making more transparent software. We can have signed dependencies, pre-built trusted (signed, hashes) dependency chains.
No. They check your tax returns every year with some automated process. If you document any income that is not approved youll be in trouble. My college rounded up all the international kids doing business in their own countries and told them to stop immediately.
People install debian and then setup the proxmox on top of that with an install script to achieve what you want.
