How Pareto Desktop keeps you safe
Here are a few completely realistic scenarios that can happen if you have your Linux device's security misconfigured.

😨
Suzie turned off the ufw firewall to debug a router, did not remember to turn it back on, and accidentally exposed her local webserver to the entire Starbucks network.
😦
James lent his ThinkPad to mom for a weekend, forgot he enabled automatic login for her convenience, then found his son playing on his company's Slack.
😫
Paul needed to turn on automatic login to test a new window manager, then forgot to turn it back on again, and now his mischievous cousin is posting on his Mastodon account.
😞
Marie has been postponing a system update and got hacked because she was not running a recent browser version with all security fixes applied.
😠
Mia used her Librem 14 for a presentation, disabled automatic screen locking, forgot to re-enable it, only to find coworkers having fun with her Discord chats.
The simplest security is the most important
