No, it's even less secure than expected. We expected that Sunbird would have access to your Apple ID and messages. Instead, everyone in the world has access to your Apple ID and messages.

It seems that Starship, the second stage, experienced RUD from the automated FTS at around the time it was expected to shut off its engines.

Edit: RUD is Rapid Unscheduled Disassembly. Basically an explosion. FTS is Flight Termination System, which explodes a rocket if something goes wrong in a potentially dangerous way.

Thanks, though your correction is also incorrect. Display managers, like SDDM, GDM, or LightDM, are the login screen. They're called "display managers" for historical reasons, but they also run on top of the display server.

Display servers, not window managers. Window managers are built on top of X11 or Wayland.

Wayland is a "display server," which basically means it manages the way GUIs show on the screen. X (most recently X11/Xorg) was the standard for over 30 years, but it was designed for computers 30 years ago. Modern concepts like scaling and high refresh rate displays need extensions to it, but it's really complicated and hard to work with, so a lot of improvements that need to be made can't be made. It's also fundamentally insecure, as every window has access to both the contents and the input of any other window. Wayland is a modern replacement that focuses on security and expandability, and basically everything is working on switching to it. There are growing pains, but it's constantly improving, and most distros use it by default now.

Great answer. People frequently think that Android phones work just like desktops, but they are very different.

Have you installed a custom ROM on it? If not, you definitely don't have the skills for this. If so, have you built your own ROM for it? If not, do that so you learn how it works in a predictable environment. Then port something existing to it, like UBPorts. Only after you do all of that and probably a lot more should you attempt to effectively develop your own distro on hostile hardware.

VanillaOS and BlendOS also use containers to install apps, just like Fedora Silverblue. In fact, it's easier to install native packages on Silverblue than it is on VanillaOS. Just set your terminal to start a container by default.

Chrome OS makes installing Linux applications way more difficult than it is on most other Linux distros.

I've been using Linux for ten years, and I've never done that. It's not really a part of the Linux experience anymore.

I do not like it, Sam I Am.
