    MacOS, iOS, GrapheneOS (and even then, Graphene doesn’t believe themselves to be doing enough due to the fundamental limitations in AOSP)

    There is one distro trying, and even they make it clear that they’re bound by the limitations of the Linux desktop’s security model at the moment (SecureBlue).

    It is also technically possible to harden Windows to become nearly bulletproof but that usually requires third party software like ThreatLocker.

      MacOS, iOS

      Do you have a source for that beyond shills and their marketing?

      There most definitively are vulnerabilities and backdoors in these OSes. Whether or not we hear of them doesn’t prove otherwise

        My source is primarily the GrapheneOS team’s praises for how Apple handles iOS, particularly in Lockdown Mode. There was also a recent situation where they warned their users of “mercenary spyware” attacks.

        It’s also a position that many in the SecureBlue community would agree with, which is where I’ve learned the majority of my recent security stuff from.

          I mean it’s commendable that Apple makes an effort to keep their users secure from third-party attackers (besides MDM software), but there’s just no telling how much control and privacy violation is going on when they’re keeping their source code secret. (“What do they have to hide? Clearly something.”)

          SecureBlue seems interesting, though most of their features look like security theater compared to the default
