Far from being ‘the most secure operating system’ in the world like it’s cult following blondly appears to assert for no reason, the facts of the matter here reveal a totally different picture. Here are the CVE details of popular system system software:

Of all time!
Firstly, seems to some how astonishigly be some kind of misconception even today that linux is an operaing system. It isn’t. It’s a kernel using which seemingly anyone can build their own operating system, of which we can see there now dozens and dozens, possibly hundreds if we include all the proprietary distributions. But the latter don’t count here because they put millions in to privately funding and customising their distros for their own benefit even to kernel level to the point it becomes irrelevant to the average consumer. They are not what’s in question here. But what is in question and relevant here, as the above demonstrates, are most of the popular GNU distros and even the Linux kernel itself. As the above show, they are riddled with security flaws, including innumerous user-level bugs and seemingly always has been.
One problem is the lack of a real and commited developer base. The Linux developmenet community is a mixture of the two extreme of big tech charities, where if you don’t play by their rules and forecasting, you don’t get a say no matter how good you are, to the other extreme of every amatuer developer the sun wanting to contribute or have a go at publishing their own distro to show off how ‘good’ they are and this all results in ‘Linux’ which is just an empty title with no rhythm or rhyme; one change in a component, or even a bug at kernel level makes it nigh impossible for a distro’s developers to see the bigger picture and implement any changes because at this point, Linux kernel development is done practically in entirity by big tech conpanies who don’t give a shit about debian or fedora or other gnu distros or the open source commuities. The CentOS fiasco alone is a testimony of this.
The other extreme is Windows 11, the conglomerate, whose gamut of fancy, but often totally useless apps and software are designed to maximise vendor lock-in and an excuse to mine user data. And of course, all that comes with being able to watch the entire system often fall like a house of cards everytime something goes wrong. And it often does as the above chart demonsrates. At least ‘Linux’ has excuse in that it’s not even a real system, but just a collection of practically independant “Linuxes” that have no idea or care about what the million other “Linuxes” are even doing but only converge in so far as collectively suffering from not knowing what bugs and flaws any reckless kernel developement and updates will have on their system, as well as sharing the shiny commercialised wrapper of “Linux”. But in Microsofts case, it is baffling how such a big, monlithic system manages to fuck so bad and so often too.
To Mac developers and uses “Linux” just seems like a cheap toy at this point, wheras Microsoft represents corporate greed at it’s finest.
