Linux suffers from a lot of unaddressed security problems. (programming.dev)

  • Not all distros ship SELinux and the ones that do, don't actually configure it securely.

  • New users are expected to keep copying and pasting commands from their browsers to their terminal which compromises some Linux security defenses.

  • KDE, GNOME and Sway are the only functional Desktop Environments/Window Managers that support Wayland all, while the Other DEs are not even close to shipping with Wayland.

  • Most if not all of the Linux Distros in 2025 ship with Grub bootloader, which suffers from a lot of problems, instead of using the bootloaders that does not support BIOS and will improve the reliability of booting and provide a more stable experience.

Could be an idea to make it easier to set a grub password during distro installation, that I can agree on.
