• Not all distros ship SELinux and the ones that do, don’t actually configure it securely.

  • New users are expected to keep copying and pasting commands from their browsers to their terminal which compromises some Linux security defenses.

  • KDE, GNOME and Sway are the only functional Desktop Environments/Window Managers that support Wayland all, while the Other DEs are not even close to shipping with Wayland.

  • Most if not all of the Linux Distros in 2025 ship with Grub bootloader, which suffers from a lot of problems, instead of using the bootloaders that does not support BIOS and will improve the reliability of booting and provide a more stable experience.

    1. I agree mostly yeah it should be by default(but also depends from usecase too if we installing distro as many people doing on old hardware it would even more slow PC)

    2. Copy pasting would damage mac os, windows including too so it’s just human factor

    3. Wayland is protocol not server and to implement full stack u need a lot resources and not small team meanwhile x11 it’s ready to go graphical server universal one

    4. About this some distros installing systemd-boot if installer detecting efi variables if legacy system it installing grub.

    All depends from threat surface attack and what we are trying to defend.

      Cachy installs systemd-boot by default, but in the end I had to manually install grub, because systemd-boot doesn’t play nice with btrfs snapshots when you do a kernel upgrade.
