LinuxFX, a Windows 11 clone, has always seemed a bit "shady" to me. .A couple of days ago, an article was published detailing how unbelievably easier it was to access all of the data in LinuxFX's user database. It was so easy to access that it's hard to really take this distro seriously anymore. And now it gets worse. They "fixed" the previous issue...by making it even easier to compromise the database!
