True. We can also not run code at all and be perfectly safe.
I wish there was a comparison. Number of 0days in open source and 0days in closed source for comparible projects and a measure for time to mitigate the 0days.

I am no expert on code-auditing. But I'm slightly at peace that there are 100s of experts looking at the code because it's open-source. But i also understand mistakes can still happen. It's not a perfect system, but it's the best solution so far.
Remember this thumb rule -> if it's not open-source, you are allowing the software to do whatever it wants to do.
No regulation, law, support group is going to help you. You are digging your own grave.
While I welcome Android games on Steam, a part of me is repulsed by how Android game devs treat their customers; in-game ads, horrendous amount of mtx, p2w. Not saying that Steam games don't suffer mtx but it's way lesser.
Anyway, let's see how it goes.
Not a priority for Microsoft anymore.

Pun police: Stop right there, criminal scum! You have violated the law. Pay the court a fine or serve your sentence!
Those that try to hide or shift blame of mistakes are a bigger red flag in my book.
People, please; look at this.
It's inevitable that mistakes will happen.
I remember the good old times when testers has to check if their sites work on Chrome/Firefox/Opera/Safari/Edge.
And you could simply have a separate Firefox profile rather than spinning up an entire virtual machine.
This is what I do. Even though there is nothing wrong with the Qubes approach, I think it's overkill unless you are hiding from nation-state attackers.
I gave up and used a Windows VM for such shenanigans. It's hard when even the government doesn't want to listen. This is a good project which bridges the gap -> https://github.com/Fmstrat/winapps.
The primary issues that I faced with Windows (Win10 nearly a decade ago) are
- very slow updates
- constant 100% disk usage after boot
- high background process usage
- [Rare] messing with my dual partition setup
- The final error which caused me to format my PC -> After logging in, the desktop froze, no icons showing up, no task manager.
If I had never used Linux, these wouldn't even seem like problem; just normal Windows shenanigans. But after using Linux, I can never go back. I don't know how much worse/better Win11 is now but can't be bothered to try.
A Google engineer adds a piece of code, does not document what exactly it does, and it was approved without question. Something is seriously wrong with this or I don't know how the Chromium project works.
