I haven't seen a malware or virus use Spectre and Meltdown, and even if there were they would still need me to download them first and execute them. If you an Intel CPU then this will give you a good deal of performance back, especially if you have an older Intel CPU. The third thing I do is disable CPU Mitigations.

If I'm installing xanmod on a multicore CPU like my Ryzen 1700 then I install linux-xanmod-cacule, otherwise the default linux-xanmod should be fine. This will give a noticeable increase in performance.

The second thing I do is install Xanmod, which is a high performance kernel for Ubuntu. This probably doesn't matter for Nvidia users since they don't use Mesa drivers. So now I use kisak-mesa which is a developer who works for Valve, so you know it's probably good.

It also doesn't support Ubunt 18.04, which makes it harder to uninstall and upgrade to 20.04. I used to use Oibaf PPA but it tends to break too often for my tastes. First thing to always do is install bleeding edge drivers. I'm using Linux Mint 20 so it's basically Ubuntu but with a more demanding UI.

I've been dealing with this myself and found a number of solutions to this problem.

If they knew how to add repositories and sudo install then they aren't your Joe Average. Even if they knew how to use sudo then they'd be downloading apps through the included and safe repository.

If they ever get software then it's through the Software Manager. If Grandma or Joe Average is using Linux then sudo isn't a feature they're going to be aware of. Microsoft is too concerned about making a profit with their Store that nobody uses it to just upload free software. I can't say that installing apps from an unknown repository is 100% safe, but it's a lot better than downloading an installer from a website, which you can also do on Linux. The best thing I can do is install chocolatey which does give me this functionality. I don't even need repositories when I can just "sudo apt install firefox" where as the Microsoft Store doesn't give me the option to do that. There is the Microsoft Store but it isn't exactly as friendly and easy to use as. On Windows for the most part it's mainly done with downloading. Has someone more reputable commented on this malware?Ĭlick to expand.The main security feature of linux is where you get your software. I am not satisfied by the info in the OP.

Maybe a weather widget? But we have no info on this, or even if it's widespread. But I have not seen any evidence that this malware is being spread through official channels.ĮDIT: I left out possible user-land exploits like if this is installing itself through a javascript exploit on firefox or emails attachments. Unless the maintainer is malicious or has himself been compromised without his knowledge I don't see how this malware can spread. In this way everything IS similar to a game console - much more than windows where people are sharing. the exact program compiled and packaged by the maintainer. Most programs are installed through official channels and these channels use signature checks to ensure that the user downloaded a vetted program ie. However, by default people are not downloading and running executables on linux that are obtained from random websites. If the user has any ability to install and run their own software and that software can access the internet, then this type of thing is inevitable in my view. If it's individual cases of users downloading binary files from sketchy places and running them then I don't see how any OS can possibly prevent this sort of user-land thing without completely locking down the system ie. The real question is how it gets installed. It is limited by whatever the user that installed it can do. My read of the netlab site seems to point to this malware can not escalate privileges.
