Hello, most Linux distributions are using GNOME by default, including:
Is not GNOME more secure than KDE even?
Anything running in X11 is inherently insecure, whether its gnome, kde or anything else. Wayland will improve this alot when its ready for general consumption but its not quite there yet.
It seems that there are more reports here about problems with KDE than with Gnome, but maybe it is because more people use one than the other.
But nothing about safety as I remember.
Well two simple examples, under X11 any application can view all the keystrokes being sent to another application, they can also view whats being displayed on any application (this is how gimp's color picker works). There is likely many others that I haven't mentioned as well. -- Simon Lees (Simotek) http://simotek.net Emergency Update Team keybase.io/simotek SUSE Linux Adelaide Australia, UTC+10:30 GPG Fingerprint: 5B87 DB9D 88DC F606 E489 CEC5 0922 C246 02F0 014B
