You got downvoted, but I mostly agree. I think mandatory strict selinux rules, containerize all user programs, or similar approaches are now more important for the threat vectors we face today on the desktop. I just discovered Apple's feature of requiring you to press a couple keys to authenticate a new keyboard. Doing that on GNU/Linux would be very hard.
- JonathonW 8y agoThat dialog (the "your keyboard cannot be identified" dialog) is about layout detection, not "authentication". IIRC, it's also skippable (but I haven't seen it in a long time; I've mostly switched over to Apple keyboards and they don't trigger that dialog).
- coryrc 8y agoAh, thanks. Either way, a feature much more difficult in the Linux world, unfortunately.
