Hey there, Just wondering is Linux on an Android device (through UserLAnd or else) is as secure as Linux as the main OS.

Edit…Should say private not secure

Tanx much

      Still a bit open ended. Web browser finger printing is probably going to be quite specific, unless you have a browser that avoids fingerprinting.

      There is a trust issue, you need to trust the userland packagers to not build in any additional tracking, but its pretty unlikely that they’ll do that given its a tiny project.

      Privacy is also multifaceted, and its never going to be as simple as “use this distro”. The techniques for online tracking are changing and evolving all the time.
