A modern Linux with SELinux enabled (the default in e.g. Fedora) running apps inside rootless containers (Podman doesn’t even need a daemon) is likely much more secure than your default MacOS or Windows.

If you're talking about desktop use, not really. All the software in a default Fedora desktop install, runs as unconfined by SELinux policies.

Where SELinux really shines is in server installs.

I think you're probably @totallywrong
TBH, Fedora Silverblue with the parent commenter's approach it's far more secure.
Well Linux powers just about all the most important systems in the world and SELinux was originally developed by the NSA, but I'd love to get your insights.
