Hey Steve,
Yep. The Talking Potato YouTubers are probably terrified their Surfing Great White VPN affiliate marketing will dry up if they talk about anything too real - buy a VPN for this OS where every installed app can capture your userid/pw. Alien from 79. I totally forgot Weyland Industries was a part of that. Definitely time to pull out my Alien Quadrilogy Box Set. And "the heat death of the universe" is closer than you think. I'm pretty sure interdimensional travelers have contacted Illuminati power brokers to force the creators of Sponge Bob Square Pants to share the actual date these travelers will evacuate all energy from our dimension. The date is just 4,456 days away (YouTuber Chromeblox85 - "August 12 2036, the heat death of the universe." VideoCode(qt2HFq7w1K4)).
I'm totally on board with not downloading malware. In fact, it looks like it is a pretty simple process to create an AppImage from Debian packages, such as chromium, which I need for browser segregation.
Regarding the dodgy apps, every app running on X has the ability to capture a sudo pw and execute any command as root. Solid distribution groups like Debian probably catch most of this crap but it would be so easy to put a distro out there with a sudo pw capturing browser and as the late and great Bill Paxton, Private Hudson, would say, "That's it, man. Game over, man.". The Talking Potato mantra "Just pick a distro you like." blows my mind. And if a distro is too much work, just post an AppImage.
After hearing of this X pw capturing, I started looking into Debian wayland offerings. I was pleasantly surprised that Debian's default desktop environment uses wayland. Debian is thinking about the people tuned into the Talking Tubers. Beyond the default Gnome, KDE defaults to wayland as well. Pretty awesome! Downside is when I created these VMs I discovered X was there as well and has some X-looking processes. Xdpyinfo returns info on the X version installed on the Gnome and KDE VMs when running wayland. In addition to a standard KDE install I also tried to install task-kde-desktop on top of a Debian server and it too had X. I even tried to delete X looking services and killed the GUI on one of the 25-30 Debian VMs I created, lol. My next step was to try and configure labwc (wlroots-based compositor inspired by Openbox.) (wiki.debian.org/Wayland#Desktops). I got labwc installed but I'm pretty sure it did not install wayland. I would think you could do a sudo apt install wayland but wayland is not found. There does seem to be a qtwayland5 package so maybe that is the answer. Pretty much just want wayland running so I can run a browser, terminal, Libre office, Linux kernel, GNU commands, GNUcash, notepad, calculator, file manager, some VM Manager, and no apps which can capture pws without elevated permissions.
I need to fully document what I did with the IceWM install. Just a few packages really. I was really happy with that install - but X...
