    what kind of privilege separation? you’re talking about containers/namespaces?

    cause as it is linux desktop has 1 unprivileged user and that’s it. from an attackers perspective privilege escalation is irrelevant - you have access to the screen, keyboard, browser, files. there really is nothing left to gain from gaining root

    and if you have any reason to gain root, it’s super easy by just replacing sudo with an alias in .bashrc you’ve got the user’s password

    We REALLY need sandboxing and soon, that’s why I want to give fedora silverblue a try but my hopes are quite low

    btw windows is in a bit of a better place and M1 mac is in much better place
