I love KDE a lot but if I’m honest, I dislike that they posted that… That wasn’t kind of them and it was rude to Microsoft!!! I wouldn’t insult them (“ditch Windows for good”), well, Microsoft has been using and including Linux too!! So both should be fine and friends.
Arch Linux with NVIDIA is definitely not great for newbies, especially for people who can’t keep up with the distro. If left unupdated for too long, your system may break. Even if you update every day, you could break something. You just never win with a rolling release distro like this. My only saving grace is that I run with an AMD gpu and so far, that thing has just worked.
My tip for anyone switching to Linux is to switch to AMD. Even if NVIDIA is better overall for performance and features, even if the last time you tried AMD on your windows system it was slow and a bit buggy, on Linux, AMD just works, without extra steps.
My point is less that leaving Arch alone breaks things and more that updating after a really long time can break something. It also kinda defeats the point of using a rolling release distro. I can see how you thought i was spreading misinformation though. My bad for poor wording.
The desktop security model is insecure in general. Phone OSes are much more secure.
Reasonable desktop OS to use is Qubes, Fedora, MacOS, ChromeOS, or Windows pro/enterprise (hardened)
Phones are much more secure especially the Pixel 8/pro with MTE immensely reducing remote exploitation. GrapheneOS is the only distro that enables MTE by default and recently implemented it in their Vanadium browser.
Secure phones (secure elements are important): IPhones and Pixels (GrapheneOS or stock)
Also yes, Chromium is much more secure on Linux than Gecko based browsers because of its great internal sandboxing and site isolation. Firefox on Windows is catching up though, but still bad on desktop Linux and android.
This all doesn’t matter if you’re running an EoL device. Make sure your receiving official security and firmware updates.
The thing is I use Noscript so I guess having random malicious Javascript executed is pretty rare. And Firefox + Arkenfox is so much more private than damn Chromium, even though I keep a Flatpak of Chromium around.
I understand that the hardened Fedora Ublue version from qoijjj isn’t that far off, maybe removing flatpaks is a bit weird and makes little sense.
I am pretty sure I wont use Chromium, as Firefox is just working better for me? Everything makes sense, and for sure I wont give Google any Data.
