This title is pure sensationalism. The written piece says clearly "security vulnerabilities in the GStreamer multimedia framework. A combination of the Chrome browser and GNOME-based desktops creates a particularly scary vulnerability.". Somehow this very specific combination inflated to become Desktop Linux.

My default installation came with VLC, firefox and KDE. No gstreamer nor gnome installed, google products including Chrome are not welcome. Though I'm pretty sure manjaro is part of the Desktop Linux family.

Too bad this misrepresentation is hurting the message OP is trying to carry to the world. Then this message is hardly news, the guys at grsecurity have been at it for 15 years providing hardening security patches to the vanilla kernel.
