Nothing in Linux-land excites me anymore as much as running everything in unprivileged userland. Having the most bleeding edge software is overhyped, since it introduces instability into your system... especially if you carefully design it such as with Arch Linux. I can't believe using MacOS 12 and homebrew taught me the values of this. Flatpak or bust!
For example... I have Steam and Chromium happily running in a Flatpak install and it has zero more privileges that my non-sudo user account has.
No sudo in sight and for a start this gives me peace of mind. Zero trust needs to be a bigger deal in the Linux community.
- nemetroid 5y agoIn what context would you run Steam and Chromium with more privileges than your regular account?
