Are we going to talk about SUDO security and its implications?
For me future is less, but more controllable features. Things like dbus based security, snap or "universe" repo on Ubuntu are absolutely out of questions.
I really like OpenSuse and its direction. Conservative, yet fresh packages. Automated testing. Curated yet substantial package base. Package manager integrated with BTRFS snapshots...
- Xunjin 6y agoOpenSUSE Tumbleweed is a breeze, seriously kudos for all of them :)
- esarbe 6y ago.... and still you need something to run those apps and utils like Signal or Threema and those will never get into the base system. It wouldn't make sense. And you don't want to burden the developers of that software to have to package their software n+1 times for every imaginable distribution. Thus Flatpaks isolation and sandboxing of apps using "dbus based" security, pipewire and polkit. Two sides of the coin of a stable and extendable system.
- throw8932894 6y agoUnaditable apps like that should not be allowed in core system. Get tablet to run this stuff (way better ergonomics) or run it in virtual machine.
- esarbe 6y agoBoth these applications are open source. And even if I teach my grandma to start a VM everytime she wants to send me a message - they still have to be packaged for each and every distribution. That doesn't seem practical.
