How is it secure if all apps if Linux for the most part lacks access control for apps?

X11 allows every single program on your pc to do whatever the fuck they want,
>just use wayland lol
shits buggy af if you ACTUALLY want to use your pc and not just post screenshots on unixporn

>but muh opensource is better
opensource doesnt mean trustable/safe, youre literally trusting some randoms anons on the world to manage your PC packages compared ot Windows/Mac which are done by proffesionals

>But Linux doesnt have virus
It does, getting targeted less than windows doesnt mean they dont exist

I think Linux is behind some years from other OS on security, idk how this will be solved though

This is why it's important to *read the source code* / and have people *in your community* read the source code from time to time and to actually putz around and make sure it does what it's supposed to

ie
It's not good enough to trust critical software to just "random anons", it is *social solidarity* which is the important aspect of free software that allows for a trusted OS to be built

@jeffcliff @MischievousTomato YEEEES!!! FINALLY!!! SOMEONE WHO UNDERSTANDS!!!

@jeffcliff @MischievousTomato Open source does not mean secure, and closed source does not mean insecure. Jesus Christ, I've said this soooo many times and get attacked in return.

IMO, the best way to backdoor someone is to make them believe OSS is safe, then pay a lone dev to add some code no one will audit.

lmao you attack everyone you talk to. you don't get to complain about people attacking you
