Out of the box distro security means very little when compared to a properly configured system.
- teawrecks 4y agoFor distros marketed as desktop alternatives to windows or mac, it means a lot, because most of those users are going to install and run it without changing much at all. Especially if it comes preinstalled on a budget laptop.
- hsbauauvhabzb 4y agoAlmost all modern Linux distros are pretty reasonable Security out of the box, it’s the user-specified configuration that causes the issues.
- bombcar 4y agoPart of the problem is when distros "become secure in the default install" by having nothing installed and nothing running.
- hsbauauvhabzb 4y agoLast time I could checked you could install stuff during the initial deployment. Not sure what your point is though, a default install of Linux is far better than a default install of windows.

- NexRebular 4y agoBut what if one doesn't trust the security of docker?
- 0cf8612b2e1e 4y agoAt least switch to podman, which has a better isolation story.
- hsbauauvhabzb 4y agoThen you have bigger issues to worry about.
