A secure OS should account for dumb/malicious users and mitigate the damage they can do. If a user can be convinced to disable protections on Windows or Android, that same user could easily be convinced to download a script and run it with sudo.

I’ve had a hot take for a while now that Linux isn’t “more secure” than other operating systems like a lot of evangelists will claim. I think people get this impression because the user base for desktop Linux has been small enough that no one was writing malware targeted at us.

Unix’s security model was developed in a world where the primary concern was protecting the system from users and protecting users from each other. It wasn’t really designed for single-user systems where the main concern is protecting the user from their own applications.

I have a dual boot set up, and even I find it annoying to reboot into a different OS just to play an unsupported game. Especially since I use Windows so rarely now that the first thing it wants to do is install a dozen updates.

With our current Overton window, the word“bipartisan” means a coalition between conservatives (Democrats) and fascists (Republicans). So, yeah, it is a bipartisan meltdown, because neither party really represents Zohran’s base (or most Americans).
