personally I think we'd better separate standard Linux server environment from single-user home desktop environment. they're totally different....and desktop users are growing in recent years in our forums(openSUSE is almost the only usable distro for home use)
Apart from Gentoo, Ubuntu and all their derivatives, yes.
.< (lol)
eg: I would like YaST2 never ask me root password to install software, since it's my laptop and no one else can use it...but it'll surely be banned in a security expert's eyes, and I don't know how to adjust it for myself
Do you want this for user #1 or for any arbitrary "guest" type account? I don't want guests accounts to install software on MY system. That's why. But it should ask for your #rootable user# password, not for root password.
no. so I guess...guest account or account registration could be disabled? actually no desktop users even use Windows Guest account, forever...
(no flame war like Linus did, of course I defend and vote for openSUSE, but one comment in it is good for me: it's easier for security persons to enable it than grandma to disable it)
It's for grandma's pc where I want security over features. She isn't going to install software anyway. But I have to drive 200 Miles if something is broken with her "let's exchange recipes over facebook" use case just because guests or aggressive software installed obtrusive new features (or worse).
...lol. it's just someone else's comment on linus's G+...seems grandma is not a good example...everyone has enough such bad experiences.....I drive once...that is...1794 miles...just last year... I cited that to "prove" that we need different levels of security...not no security at all.
I hope we may/can have a package called polkit-default-home-use or something to fulfill that kind of needs....of course too hurry for 12.2, may be later
Yes, I like that. But mine would probably be different from yours.
yes. definitely... but by separating server from desktop...we can discuss out a common settings...like tweak the most hard and common parts for the users...not the as secure as one can in server environment...
