• 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.

    • Redundant (it’s not the only security mechanism)
    • False / misleading / not-a-Linux issue (more of an internet culture issue).
    • FUD. Wayland is not the only way to go; X11 is pretty mature.
    • FUD with intent to sell Microsoft’s “Secure Boot”.

    Nice try but doesn’t deserve wasting more time on. -4.4/10.
