Fair enough! But I can tell you as a cybersecurity expert that you’d have a hard time finding a way to get any sort of remote execution from user-generated content on any major site, much less an exploitable browser sandbox escape.
I think web browser exploits wouldn't be an issue on ubuntu anyways, as major web browsers do get regular upgrades there (or are not even installed via apt but snap nowadays). Also web browsers use sandboxes. I'm more worried about users downloading any kind of content and interacting with it via more niche software, like image viewers (though with glycin they nowadays also do sandboxing). |

Here's a careful reminder that Linux viruses can come in Windows executables. When it comes to hacking in the modern day it's all about escaping the box - whether that box is a container, a VM, a sandbox or indeed even an emulated environment. So we should still fear the binary blob. Remember: update early, update often - no matter how painful that sounds.
We need to get proton for templeos so we can be safe. |

So, what's the solution? Debian Stable?
Hardened systems with hardware enforced isolation (virtualization and stuff) |

Oh I think we migrated around similar times then (I'm a lemm.ee refugee). I thought you were surprised that photos and videos were available to download when this wasn't a recent lemmy change |

Not paywalled, just straight up preventing it, which they have been doing for years now. But yt-dlp still works for downloading from reddit, if so desired. |

Proton for some reason insists in mounting root on Z. Plain wine doesn't care. So I had to use firejail.
Well, how else do you want to achieve 100% compatibility? Don't discriminate the viruses like that! |

I read a hilarious article, probably 2 decades ago by now, where a guy decided to try running Windows viruses on Linux in Wine. If this really is a threat today, I would say that Wine has become a pretty damn impressive project. Here's the link in case anyone else wants to read it: https://entertainment.slashdot.org/story/05/01/26/219201/running-windows-viruses-under-linux
Sadly newsforge (the site linked in the above article) no longer hosts said article. Sounded like a fun read! |

I prefer reddit UI but the community is annoying asf. No one has the mental capacity to discuss and the emotional control of a toddler. |
