To me, it doesn’t sound as secure since if something happened to that file (deleted, corrupted, etc.), the whole OS could get destroyed.
Technically, using a modern CPU is a security risk. (Intel’s Management Engine & AMD’s Platform Security Processor)
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.
A living proof how apt can be dangerous.
A living proof how typing a full, punctuated sentence and then pressing enter without reading the warning prompt after getting an error from the GUI store can be dangerous. So don’t do drugs kids.
If you delete the file
vmlinuzyour 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.
THE OS THAT GOD INTENDED
I can’t even begin to describe how little sense that makes.
Backup that file, and the whole OS will be safe.
