Also a Google employee. Can confirm, most engineers mean well and are very good at what they do, but that doesn’t mean our bloated codebases are secure and outside of launch security and privacy reviews (which are easily waived) almost no one even considers privacy or security implications in design or engineering.

Maybe just “Eternity”?

I don’t like this because it’s too long and gets cropped on my home screen. I see “Infinity for Le…”.

As a Linux user (who uses Arch btw), most Linux users at least care about what OS they use. To everyone else, they just wanna get work done and aren’t just having conversations about what they’re running. It’s a computer, not their personality.

I hear great things about the Nix package manager and AppImages, but I personally use the AUR. The vast majority of what I use is in the Arch official repositories.

I’m also not saying to not use Flatpak, but you shouldn’t be using it for sandboxing or depend solely on its purported security benefits on mission critical systems.

What constitutes a reasonably secure package management system depends on your threat model (no such thing as 100% secure).

You know installing and configuring Arch so it’s functional doesn’t take much longer than an hour, especially with install scripts. There’re even Arch based distros like EndeavourOS which are easy to get started with. Arch taking over your life is kinda a meme, ricing it can take as much or as little time as you’d like.
