Yet npm isn't using them allowing this RAT to work. It is not secure by default. It requires every app to manually opt in to being secure. This opt in approach to security puts desktop Linux decades behind in regards to security. Not ahead.

Linux is not making anything less secure than other OSs.

In fact it even gives the user more security tools.

So I fail to reason on you singling out Linux here.

    Take for example iOS and Android. All apps are sandboxed by default. You can't make a program that just steals all of your credentials like you can on desktop Linux. Having security tools means nothing if they aren't being used.
