  • Thanks for the links. Documentation is definitely a problem. They’d have to be open to feedback on documentation. Threads on documentation improvement are often met with “it exists, what more do you want?” even if the feedback is “this and this is missing” 🤷

    Anyway, I’ll check out the links and try to set something up. My usage of radicle is definitely what it could be because of the lack of notifications. I literally fire and forget my repos, patches and so on, because I haven’t found an easy way to be made aware of responses or incoming patches.













  • My bad then. I’m sorry I thought you were a shill, but those do come through here pretty often to dump their winblow and crApple dung.

    As I said in another response, security is difficult to marry with convenience. You can see it on mobile operating systems where a flashlight app asks for network and storage permissions, and users just accept because they can’t be bothered with even reading it.

    I too recognise that there is a lot of room to improve, but I’m hopeful that with more attention, linux will become more secure. There will be more brainpower and money flowing into it.


  • Linux allows nearly endless customisation. But when making a desktop distro, you have to weigh convenience and security. You can be the most secure OS on the planet, but if nothing can run because of that, nobody will use it.

    Go ahead and try to use Fedora with all security options activated. Give it a try and find out how much you like it. I bet that once you have to resolve your first SELinux issue that prevents you from running your favorite application, you’ll start being more lax or drop it all together.

    I think already know the answer to this, but which OS do you think is the most secure?


  • Linux is used in security contexts. What do you think Kali Linux is for? There’s a linux distro that is literally a hypervisor to separate everything into VMs (Qubes). Fedora allows you to activate more security options like SELinux (which is also one way Android achieves more security BTW). And I could go on, but it seems you chose to be ignorant before making the claim linux was insecure.

    Linux distros babe many flavors and eachallows a different focus.
