To me, it doesn’t sound as secure since if something happened to that file (deleted, corrupted, etc.), the whole OS could get destroyed.

    If you delete the file vmlinuz your OS could also get destroyed.

      That’s the exact reason why I run TempleOS, it is immune to this known critical vulnerability because it does not have a vmlinuz file.

    I can’t even begin to describe how little sense that makes.

    using apt for managing all system packages seem like a security flaw. If it get corrupted or run badly, whole OS can be destroyed.

      Don’t even try installing steam or you loose all your gpu drivers and stuff.

        I think that mainly happens if your name is Linus Sebastian.
