Big difference between Linux and Windows: Linux permissions are per-process, while Windows permissions are per-user.
If you're not using root all the time, risks are very low.
We've just had a string of very public privesc exploits, and there are plenty of non public ones as well, so running as non-root doesn't necessarily mean much.
Difference: linux fix in a week, microsoft fix "when they feel like".
Sudo CD /ironycanal/Home/Documents
Sudo kwrite passwords.txt
an adversary could just get the root password with a keylogger.
On wayland you have keyloggers?
You do not need admin privs to log keystrokes on xorg. I am 99% sure this is true in wayland too.
Wayland model is least privilege first. No keylogger possible without annoying workaround. Same for global shortcut thing, i think only recently got something for that. Also problem for screen reader and accessibility tool, blog post "i love linux but it does not love me back" about exactly that.
"Security through obscurity" is not real security.
