  • 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.

Okay, I call bs on the Wayland part

When was the last time you suffered from a exploit on X11? Most distros even setup X11 to be localhost only

X11 has a lot of problems, but claiming it is insecure by default is kinda bs

Changing from UDP to TCP when you aren't using TLS at all doesn't solve the issue
