  That sounds nice and all but linux still is subject to exploits and the open sourced nature of it makes it an enticing target for state actors to include extremely well made obfuscated exploits. I dont know how to win here, tbh.

    All you said, is infinitely worse with closed source

      The open source closed source argument is dumb here. What matters is skilled eyes, not eyes. Show me a count of Linux kernel maintainers vs windows kernel maintainers and we can talk.

        With closed source auditing is not possible.

        Microsoft windows must always be assuned to have backdoors and no one will ever find out.
