not relevant IMHO

we don't live anymore in a time where you can trust that local apps do not misbehave, and in such a context LPE is pretty bad even in a single user system

just thing about all the supply chain problems of recent times

LPEs also potentially make user-level malware into system-level malware, which is only marginally more impactful for a single person on a desktop, but considerably harder to clean up. (It also broadens the range of what such malware could exfiltrate from me.)

  $ cat /etc/modprobe.d/dirtyfrag.conf
