I find the authors concerns about security to be at odds with their enthusiasm for flatpak and systemd. Personally I don’t think containerised applications get as much attention from package maintainers or security audits. Systemd is also expanding into every area of the OS including recently offering a sudo alternative which is basically creating one massive attack surface.

Even if you’re rightfully concerned, they become non-issues in the author’s platform of choice: Qubes OS.

The reason (I think) they mentioned all of those explicitly Linux things, is because they’ve also stopped using OpenBSD VMs in Qubes OS.

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Linux is a family of open source Unix-like operating systems based on the Linux kernel, an operating system kernel first released on September 17, 1991 by Linus Torvalds. Linux is typically packaged in a Linux distribution (or distro for short).

Distributions include the Linux kernel and supporting system software and libraries, many of which are provided by the GNU Project. Many Linux distributions use the word “Linux” in their name, but the Free Software Foundation uses the name GNU/Linux to emphasize the importance of GNU software, causing some controversy.
