> Heck, glibc by default still allows LD_PRELOAD pretty much everywhere, and most distros have available SUID binaries you can hijack, so it's useless sandboxing anyways.

Common misconception, but no, glibc doesn't allow LD_PRELOAD on suid binaries.

Root is the one thing that's well-protected on linux, you cannot get root without the aid of a user giving it to you. Similarly, separation between users is also rather secure, but no desktop user is going to run each application under their own user.
