A big point about Linux and open-source is that problems and exploits are widely published and quickly fixed VERY QUICKLY.

There's many eyes to scrutinize for problems and there's no big marketing department to get in the way of _real_ progress.

You also have a security model that has survived 30+ years of very thorough testing!


Take your ignorant uninformed troll bait elsewhere.
