I think the whole concept of numeric security "levels" is wrong. Instead there should be a list of threats:
- physical (address by using LUKS, disabling USB ports, locking screen after N minutes inactivity, etc) - bad apps (address by enabling AppArmor or SELinux etc, using Snaps or Flatpaks, using fewer PPAs, doing updates, etc) - OS vulns (address by doing updates) - network attacks (address by enabling firewall on computer, enabling firewall in router, turning off unused services, blockers in browser, etc) - user mistakes (address by not running as root, using immutable OS, etc) And I would lump in some partially-security things too: - data loss due to hardware failure or user error (backups: suggest TimeShift etc) - network security/privacy attacks (suggest VPN) -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Desktop Bugs, which is subscribed to gnome-control-center in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1987162 Title: 43: New Device Security feature is confusing and unhelpful currently To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/gnome-control-center/+bug/1987162/+subscriptions -- desktop-bugs mailing list [email protected] https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/desktop-bugs
