Wait -- insecure? How? You mean full disk encryption? I am typing this from thinkpad with full disk encryption and SELinux enabled Fedora. Sure there are problems with Linux on laptop but even if you don't have SELinux enabled - security has never been an issue (or no worse than Windows and OSX).
- fauigerzigerk 8y agoWhat I was specifically referring to there is that Ubuntu's NetworkManager (in combination with Open VPN) had (or still has?) a DNS leak right out of the box for years.
- reitanqild 8y agoAm I underestimating that or is that are really small thing compared to "press-enter-twice-for-root" on one of the two big commercial OSes?
- fauigerzigerk 8y agoI think you are underestimating the importance of fixing glaring security bugs ASAP when they become public knowledge instead of denying or ignoring them for years. Also, a DNS leak is potentially much more dangerous for a minority of people than any locally exploitable bug.
