It’s not that difficult to build your own kernel based on the official debian one: https://kernel-team.pages.debian.net/kernel-handbook/ch-common-tasks.html#s-common-official

Before clicking the link I thought there was a new restic clone/fork out there…

They are still developing and selling Sailfish OS. They just stopped making their own hardware.

Yes you could, but (and it’s a big but): performance will be bad, performance for all other TOR users will be impeded, you won’t be able to open an incoming port, it’ll be a bad experience for everyone.

Additionally it’s quite easy to leak identifiable info in such a setup.

Around 10 years ago after the radeon xorg driver broke for the nth time on my arch install, I decided to just ditch Xorg altogether. I used screen for multiplexing, mutt for mail, irssi and some other messanger and w3m with (framebuffer support for images) for browsing the interwebs. I also had a videoplayer. I think it was mplayer. I rocked that setup for almost a year during college. Fun times.
