Hi pleasure to be here. I have 2 part question for you all,
So I heard that Linux has no GUI isolation!
In other words, each program can see the others. For example if I have firefox open with a malicious Javascript website and a GUI password manager, that website can literally see what the end user sees as far as what entries are in the password manager.

Question 1) Is this still true 10 years later?
Question 2) I’ve read this is more true with X.org, and that Wayland is better. Does Wayland offer GUI isolation or is it the same?
