From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Linux is a family of open source Unix-like operating systems based on the Linux kernel, an operating system kernel first released on September 17, 1991 by Linus Torvalds. Linux is typically packaged in a Linux distribution (or distro for short).
Distributions include the Linux kernel and supporting system software and libraries, many of which are provided by the GNU Project. Many Linux distributions use the word "Linux" in their name, but the Free Software Foundation uses the name GNU/Linux to emphasize the importance of GNU software, causing some controversy.

What the fuck are you smoking dude, X11 is used all over the place
Can't have global shortcuts or share my screen but at least my system is secure from these non-existent threats snort
Why don't I just smash my computer with a sledgehammer for the ultimate protection from flatpak malware.
Global shortcuts and screenshare are supported fully...
also the places where a newsworthy leak would happen do not use x11 and/or carefully vet their software. The average user should not need to do that, it would be bad design to make them
