To me, it doesn’t sound as secure since if something happened to that file (deleted, corrupted, etc.), the whole OS could get destroyed.
using apt for managing all system packages seem like a security flaw. If it get corrupted or run badly, whole OS can be destroyed.
Don’t even try installing steam or you loose all your gpu drivers and stuff.
I think that mainly happens if your name is Linus Sebastian.
A living proof how apt can be dangerous.
A living proof how typing a full, punctuated sentence and then pressing enter without reading the warning prompt after getting an error from the GUI store can be dangerous. So don’t do drugs kids.
Technically, using a modern CPU is a security risk. (Intel’s Management Engine & AMD’s Platform Security Processor)
If you delete the file
vmlinuzyour OS could also get destroyed.That’s the exact reason why I run TempleOS, it is immune to this known critical vulnerability because it does not have a vmlinuz file.
THE OS THAT GOD INTENDED
I can’t even begin to describe how little sense that makes.
Backup that file, and the whole OS will be safe.
