Then you can claim you haven't been open to security holes that were never exploited in the first place, proudly, on your deathbed! Even if you never managed to get online.
Meanwhile we got work to do instead of playing with toys and paranoia like you.

I love Xorg/X11 vulnerabilities.
We've had many dozens of them over the past 30 years, yet I've yet to meet a single person having been hacked using them.
But it won't stop Wayland fans from claiming that Xorg is completely insecure and must be buried

If they're saying it to one person they are probably saying it to lots of people.
But since you tell me that it's not ready for production, I guess I'll stop using it after 6 (!) years in freaking production. Thanks for letting me know!

Add explicit synchronization, with timelines, take 2 (open)
One exhaustive example as linux software: chromium. Chromium is waiting for webgpu in order to take benefit from Vulkan, it is Vulkan ready and also Wayland ready.Last edited by MorrisS.; 04 October 2023, 01:51 PM.

Note that it's bugs in the client libraries, not the xorg server. You should only be worried if you connect to a malicious server, but nobody connects to a random persons X server. It's a nothing burger.
