How many hacking movies would be over before they started if the admin just enabled usb authorization

In 2018 there was a #GNOME project to strengthen security with regard to USB, but I have the impression that nothing came of it in the end 🤔

@gnomelibre It's been there for a long time, most distros just don't setup USBGuard

@BrodieOnLinux

Now that GNOME has a Device Security control panel with a list of security events, it would have been nice to be able to control #USBGuard from Settings and have quick and easy access to the latest events…

If it had been a suggested dependency of #GNOME and #KDE, USBGuard would have been present on most distributions a long time ago 🤔

@BrodieOnLinux @gnomelibre do you know any distro that does?
