Shall I take each point and explain why they are bullshit ? Probably not, but do tell me. This kind of post is a perfect example of the bullshit I spoke about.
Just a quote to illustrate:
The Linux kernel's size grows exponentially across each release, and it can be thought of as equivalent to running all user space code as root in PID 1, if not even more dangerous.
What the fuck.
- hollerith 2y agoThe page says that the Linux kernel "has no isolation between internal components whatsoever". When two sentences later it says, "it can be thought of as equivalent to running all user space code as root in PID 1", it is elaborating on "no isolation . . . whatsoever". Specifically, it is saying that the organization of kernel code is analogous to organizing userspace so that all userspace code run as root in a single process. The author of the madaidans site BTW is a Whonix and open-source developer, so how is it in his self-interest to criticize Linux's security? There is no indication anywhere on the site that the author or anyone else want to sell the reader anything.
