I hate when people keep repeating the myth that Linux is more secure than X OS without any understanding of how much Linux gets exploited.

On the other hand, FreeBSD rarely suffers from wide security issues.

Overall, I don’t think anyone should repeat the myth that Linux is secure.

And at least if they gonna recommend Linux, they better recommend a good distro with SeLinux, hardened kernel and hardened OS.

    Me when I’m not a professional with no understanding of his things actually works and I accidentally reinvent “computers insecure, avoid them at all costs for max cybersec”

    OpenBSD can, objectively, do only a fraction of what Linux can. As a result, it is expected it will have only a fraction of vulnerabilities.
