Point is, nobody cares about the OS files. They care about their documents and data, and their logins to various secure systems. Securing system files alone doesn't really help much.
Probably the best thing is basically to be a Chromebook - the OS is signed and locked-down, can't ever be changed except for by signed updates from the mothership. Documents are meant to be stored entirely on the cloud. No support for running (unsigned?) apps locally, and even if they did, it wouldn't do much, because all of the data is on the cloud anyways.
- tracker1 9y agoCame to basically say the same... Also, a big fan of Chromebooks for most users... especially as many intranet/internal applications are now web based.
- bryanrasmussen 9y agoWell of course, but one reason why people want to make system files secure is because if those can be messed with it makes it so much easier to do all the bad things in that XKCD - without detection even.
