                      This is not news and not new.

                      I would qualify that last bit about preventing remote admin as prevent remote admin of this machine. As it will be the thing use to perform remote admin.

                            Isn't that how we should treat our normal computers?

                                Canonical recently released Ubuntu 19.04, the latest version of its flagship GNOME-based Linux desktop. But if you're a desktop user, you might be feeling a little left out.

                                  My friend does this type of thing at home with VMs now - games in his host machine - but surfs, etc in different VMs to protect things from each other.
