What Hacker News says
2 sourcesI think everyone with valid criticisms of this should file an Github issue, I'm definitely planning to, because of these things:
- Lots of discussion on X11 security issues without any mention of wayland
- Not on the Linux page, but they recommend iOS as a secure OS, which is total bullshit given how many failures we've seen with serious bugs/vulns put into production. I can't even remember how many times I've read about bugs in Safari, Whatsapp or some other app that can be chained to get kernel-level privileges. Remember the Jeff Bezos hack?
- No discussion of threat models
- Focusing on academic/technical arguments and not looking at real-world malware ecosystems/exploits (or: why there is orders of magnitude more malware for Windows than Linux)
- Memory safe languages - Linux is totally exploring a way to use rust for parts of the ker

nel, and Windows is still probably 99% C/C++
I'm all the more confused by this guy since he's a whonix developer, this almost sounds like a Microsoft employee based on how little scrutiny he applies to Windows...
