KDE's Plasma Mobile is out to challenge spying, wall-gardened, proprietary mobile ecosystems.

How is looking security wise?

[–] kittenzrulz123@lemmy.blahaj.zone 7 points 1 week ago (1 children)

Thats up to mobile Linux distros, mostly dependant on PostmarketOS and how well it supports a specific device. Generally tho mobile Linux has extremely poor security.

I wonder what do you mean by poor security?

[–] kittenzrulz123@lemmy.blahaj.zone 5 points 1 week ago (1 children)

By poor security I mean poor security in every single possible aspect especially on a mobile device. Due to generally an unlocked bootloader and encryption that either isnt enabled at all or incredibly easy to crack it makes accessing information with physical acess bearly an inconvenience. Furthermore the vast majority of software has no sandboxing whatsoever or incredibly minimal sandboxing.

This article is shared a lot in security circles and I would personally say its amazing, nearly every critique applies to mobile Linux as well.
