@10leej nice, was considering trying out gentoo but haven't gotten around to it, would it be a good idea on a laptop? Idk if I want to prepare for takeoff every time I update

This one really made me think about how Ohio is invading Michigan and causing havoc for the trout population in lake Michigan

@charlie_root @dcc @cristiioan @BrodieOnLinux This is extremely stupid because it is not the fault of Wayland itself. Wayland is only one part of a secure system. By using Xorg you are making any sandboxing efforts effectively moot, unless you want to use xpra or virtual machines.

@BrodieOnLinux @cristiioan This is untrue, xenocara still lacks GUI isolation and many basic security features that Wayland includes by default,https://isopenbsdsecu.re/mitigations/missing_features/

@charlie_root @dcc @cristiioan @BrodieOnLinux Any userspace application can keylog, bypass the firewall, and basically have an easy sandbox escape. This means that flatpaks, bwrap, and firejail are effectively useless for applications that can connect to your desktop's X11 socket. Using Xorg negatively affects your system's security massively. Sandboxing apps in Xorg is akin to locking your door, but leaving a massive hole in your house right next to it.

@SuperSnekFriend @BrodieOnLinux Xorg is more of a mess than Wayland. "Shitty" is quite a broad word too. I'd argue Xorg is more "shitty" than Wayland because Xorg lacks basic GUI isolation, good multi monitor support, improvements to it's featureset, developers maintaining the damn thing, actually good vsync that prevents screen tearing, I could go on really.

@SuperSnekFriend @BrodieOnLinux What is it you want to do? Have an accessible rootless keylogger? Have worse multi monitor support? Have an easy sandbox bypass?

@charlie_root @dcc @cristiioan @BrodieOnLinux Linux itself is not secure but there are mitigations that one can put in place (using Wayland, sandboxing applications, etc) if you sandbox an application properly then it likely can't do much. However on Xorg, as I said, it's a massive sandbox escape, basically a gaping hole, so most of the sandboxing in flatpak and bwrap that would mitigate this is almost entirely moot. As far as "trusted open source applications" I don't want my web browser to have direct access to my home directory, or really any application. Sandboxing and Wayland isn't everything though, if you want a complete guide possibly check out madaidan's Linux hardening guide: https://madaidans-insecurities.github.io/guides/linux-hardening.html

@charlie_root @dcc @cristiioan @BrodieOnLinux https://isopenbsdsecu.reStill doesn't solve Xorg's security faults either(No Xenocara doesn't include GUI isolation)
