Yes, I believe it is unwise. True, you are the only user with physical access to your workstation. And yes, this is considered a local exploit. Unfortunately, physical access is not required to execute local programs. Consider:
- You use a browser.
- You browser executes instructions locally, which are sent to it from remote websites. (the obvious example: JavaScript)
- You connect to websites you explicitly intend to connect to, such as this one.
- You also connect to many, many, many more websites than those you explicitly intend to connect to.
If you have operational issues using xenodm(1), which is the Project's recommended solution, then open a new thread discussing them.
