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.

    I find it amusing that you think Linux is weak against attack because of the recent LLM bug searches but each of those bugs will be fixed, making Linux even stronger against attack

    No other operating system is under more examination, but I expect we’ll see Windows getting the same level of examination when the LLMs are able to examine the binaries

    I expect Microsoft is using Copilot to examine their source code. I wonder if it’s as good at it’s job.
