My bad I should have clarified. What I really meant was specifically “People want a fit all possible threats solution when it is convenient.”
Of course, some solution are “fit all”, but are unconvienient, as you mentioned Linux for example.
But I suppose what Techlore is also trying to do : break the stigma around it and provide easy solutions when possible (for example the privacy guides with different convenience tiers).
Regarding me personaly knowing my threat model, I actually do to some extent, and I know I’m bound to need maximum privacy and security. Of course, I could really spend some time digging really precisely for what I need, but this isn’t worth the hassle. My stance is : there is no point focusing on a specific threat model right now because you might be doing something else in your life tomorrow which would require you to redo your threat model and restarts from zero.
Have a “fit all” solution prevents that and gives you maximum freedom for your future self should you need it.
