It would be a good thing if you want to have stuff inaccessible by your users. Reasonable assumptions when you’re the IT department with the company workstations. Not so reasonable when you just want to have a working PC for yourself (and probably your family).
The other day, I gave up on my Tumbleweed system when an update for some reason rendered my living room PC unable to connect to internet.
Maybe it was done in a good reason. Maybe it’s supposed to give me some protection of some sort. Would I need that protection? Definitely not if it keeps me (and other family members) to watch youtube.
If anyone wants to attack me thru that thing, I’d say go for it. I got nothing but my Netflix & Spotify creds. They can try infecting my media library, which I can just wipe since I got multiple copies of it.
Right now, I got Debian running on all my systems. I get to configure each of them to be as secure as it needs to be without having my operations hindered.
Hahaha zypper is hell. This must have looked cool when internet speed was slow. But its just horrible.
One of the things that keeps me from staying with OpenSUSE.
That, and its overzealous security policy.
Mind to elaborate? That sounds like a good thing.
