We trust our medical records to insurance companies, that hire big consulting firms, that don't know how to protect data or promote affiliate services. I love this world.

I work in another big4 company, and I have a strong feeling that your claims apply to us as well.

It's funny though that before joining the company, employees are forced to sign some documents about anti-corruption policies.

I don't understand this mindset.

In open source, both malicious actors and contributors will try to find problems.

In closed source, the development team is paid by hour (and probably don't care about the product quality) and the only motivated people to find real issues are malicious actors.

But people still consider closed source safer.

Tin-foil hat on. So, with CCP/GSP, secret agencies are free to find backdoors on the system.

I didn't know about those programs. I thought the Windows source code is kept secret from everyone.

That smokescreen argument makes a lot of sense. Both the company and our clients, tend to opt for ready out-of-the-box proprietary solutions, instead of taking responsibility of the maintenance.

It doesn't matter how bad or limiting that proprietary option is. As long as it somewhat fits our scenario and requires less code, it's fine.

Distrobox is a better fit for this meme. Without it, one needs to manually configure devices and namespaces. Which is not that difficult, but distrobox create makes it trivial.

Flatpak provides similar sandboxing capabilities and you can use TopGrade to manage all updates.
