Thoughts about an article talking about the insecurity of linux

This page summarizes the projects mentioned and recommended in the original post on /r/linux

Our great sponsors
  • InfluxDB - Power Real-Time Data Analytics at Scale
  • WorkOS - The modern identity platform for B2B SaaS
  • SaaSHub - Software Alternatives and Reviews
  • bubblewrap

    Low-level unprivileged sandboxing tool used by Flatpak and similar projects

    If your threat model is somewhat normal a linux installation is not that bad, more so if you harden it a little. Choose a distro with selinux (or have fun setting it up yourself), use wayland, and to bubblewrap things off, isolate and restrict the more exposed applications like the browser.

  • Flatseal

    Manage Flatpak permissions

    Some truth in that. However, they did not mention that Flatpak is by far the easiest to harden if it's not already. Using something like Bubblewrap or Firejail require a lot more time and knowledge to further harden than Flatpak. Flatpak has Flatseal, which is elegant and easy to use, and the docs are well written too (https://github.com/tchx84/Flatseal/blob/master/DOCUMENTATION.md, or menu button > Documentation).

  • InfluxDB

    Power Real-Time Data Analytics at Scale. Get real-time insights from all types of time series data with InfluxDB. Ingest, query, and analyze billions of data points in real-time with unbounded cardinality.

  • apparmor-profile-everything

    Discontinued deprecated - maybe replaced by: `apparmor.d`

    https://github.com/Whonix/apparmor-profile-everything/graphs/contributors Author seems to be contributing to something AppArmor based for Whonix so I don't think they are unaware of it existing.

  • MonoDevelop

    Discontinued MonoDevelop is a cross platform .NET IDE
