[QUOTE="mazskolnieces, post: 923530, member: 88422"] The problem with Snap and Flatpak are that the program developer is responsible for ensuring they've implemented proper security. If you trust developers to do that - even in the Linux world - then that is foolish as those that program for Linux are no more security saavy than Windows program devs. As Linux grows in popularity, repos will increasingly be attacked. And then malcoders know they don't have to even exert much effort. They know people are stupidly download happy. So it is just a matter of time. Right now Linux attackers want high value targets with huge return on investment such as servers, routers and industrial controllers. If you want to really secure Linux, then you've got to use Selinux. [/QUOTE]
