> If you are an important politician, an opposition figure or a dissident of some kind, some unfriendly country might decide to invest lots of money in order to gain access to your data. A six words password (77 bits of entropy) should be out of reach even to those actors for the foreseeable future.
In case you are in this position I fear that increasing password strength is one of your least worries. We saw with LastPass breach that it is possible to install a keylogger on one of security specialist's machine which ultimately defeats any password. IMO you'd better find a specialist or a company you trust to safeguard your devices' from any malicious apps.
X vs Y is always very opinionated and I too myself want to express my frustration/gratitude towards a single option. Sadly, life is life and a single option will not suit everybody. In my professional experience I have switched between Linux and Mac a couple of times.
2015-2017 Linux Yay, happy to work for real.
2017-2019 Linux I love Linux. So many things I can configure, i3 is the best.
2019-2021 Mac Ok, got tired of various configuration options and my set up wasn't perfect still...
2021-2022 Linux Grr! Mac is so limiting. Just look at Fedora Silverblue and its immutable file system. ThinkPad's keyboard is the best!
2023- Mac Macbook M2 works really great out of the box. Hibernation works :whoa:
For me I've noticed that I do get tired of a single OS after a while and want to try something new. Switching to a different OS gives me a clean slate for experimenting.
