linux isnt immune to viruses even though its not as bad as windows
what should i do to be safe if i have a safe browser, vm, but pirate and download risky things? i know its a vm but i still dont want to have to delete everything in the vm if something happens. also the malware doesnt go to the router and spread rigt???
Flatpak is missing even rudimentary sandbox features. Apps that don’t have an easy sandbox escape are rare. And this is all useless when it’s the app developer who decides the app permissions because most users won’t tinker with every Flatpak they install.
Flatpaks are NOT any more secure than system packages, and their “sandboxing” should not be trusted to accomplish anything.
