I run QubesOS which compartmentalizes your usb ports, network card, and most application workflows into separate virtual machines. It is literally designed to protect you even if part of your system is compromised.

• tripwire-open-source

  5 801 0.0 C++

  Open Source Tripwire®

  

I'm looking at current options, this[1] for example is packaged for Fedora, which is my daily driver.

But then I got to thinking, if I'm going to do a clean Fedora install for the tripwire (it's best practice) I might as well try Fedora Silverblue[2]. Silverblue is an immutable system so it kinda makes a tripwire less useful because no one can change any system files. Only files in your home directory and /etc can be modified statefully.

I used this a while back when I was worried something weird was going on: https://github.com/mvt-project/mvt. (Nothing was going on).
