Still not going to use these.
If major distros gatekeep sensible choice one needs to go to distro that give you the choice you want or make your own.
I don't like when someone makes a choice on my behalf. If you don't give me a choice I'm going to use something else.
A home user doesn't need to care about some bullshit security problems. This is the same argument as against people that want to use Windows 7 or Windows without updates. Your system doesn't need to be completely secure. Nobody is going to hack you. You are not directly connected to the internet. Xserver by default has X forwarding disabled so the only attack vector is local. There is no need securing local thing. If you have a malware on your system you already fucked up.
The security problem only applies to company servers that for some reason have X forwarding enabled and the machine is directly exposed to the internet and badly configured. This isn't a good setup. Such machine should be accessible only on company private network. You want to connect to it from outside then you need VPN or onsite connection to the network. The same thing applies to network shares. And web servers should have a proxy and forward requests. If someone rawdogs direct internet access with the internet obviously it is possible to breach even if "secured".
