Is there any indication that Linux is going to catch up to Android/iOS in terms of security?
From my perspective, not only has Linux userspace security barely improved at all over the past few decades (almost all programs run as the user with all of their privileges, no sandboxing, barely any permission/access control to speak of (and yes, I know that there are some projects that aim to fix this, but they're all woefully immature and barely adopted)), but the Unix philosophy itself seems opposed to these security measures. Am I just being overly pessimistic?
> the Linux phone distros are not there yet
