I use KDE. Some use GNOME. Most other options are probably to be left out as X11 is unsafe.

Cosmic is not nearly finished, but will probably be a bit safer, as its in rust, even though not tested.

Then there are window managers like Sway, Hyprland, waymonad, wayfire, etc.

RaspberryPi also has their own Wayland Desktop.

Is every Wayland Desktop / WM equally safe, what are other variables here like language, features, control over permissions, etc?

No that is bluefin, their special distro.

Ublue is like rpmfusion but for image-based. Its the addition to fedora, with packages they can't ship. They replace all the libav* with complete ffmpeg which is pretty great as its a great tool and Firefox works ootb.

For example they have -nvidia images for every image, which is the best way to use the proprietary NVIDIA drivers as you can roll back and a broken update simply wont ship to you.

They also have modded kernel images for Razer, Surface and a special Framework image.

Another cool project basing off their "starting point" toolkit to create custom images, is secureblue, a security-optimized Version including

  • hardened kernel and hardened_malloc
  • updated Chromium, maybe soon Brave
  • soon a hardened Chromium (currently as COPR "vanadium") like GrapheneOS
  • hardened services, firewall
  • removed unused kernel modules

It is very security focused though, so no Firefox, no Flatpak as its currently broken, Podman (distrobox, toolbox) is currently not working and its unclear if that is actually necessary, ...

Bluefin is their fancy distro with lots of Tools, a custom Desktop, integrated Developer packages and more.

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Linux is a family of open source Unix-like operating systems based on the Linux kernel, an operating system kernel first released on September 17, 1991 by Linus Torvalds. Linux is typically packaged in a Linux distribution (or distro for short).

Distributions include the Linux kernel and supporting system software and libraries, many of which are provided by the GNU Project. Many Linux distributions use the word "Linux" in their name, but the Free Software Foundation uses the name GNU/Linux to emphasize the importance of GNU software, causing some controversy.
