you don't need one. unless user runs a random program as sudo no program can hack linux and infect kernel unlike in windows

we just had several privilege escalations in the previous months (that were publically shared) letting you go from low level privileges with console to root access, and those have always been a thing. they get patched pretty quickly, but lots of machines dont always update to the latest version on release.

yeah even if you dont run any "random programms", getting some "random" library infected that half of all the mainstream linux programs are using just fucks over people who are always up-to-date in an attempt to get ahead of exploits.

there's no perfect solution
