Linux is actually very vulnerable to exploits and it's showing with high value vulnerabilities that has been dropping in the latest years; FreeBSD is way better in security record (piefed.world)

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 loathe that stupid anti-linux attitude from FreeBSD/OpenBSD (and sometimes even Haiku). Most of the time it just make them seem like crybabies, from Theo de Raadt going down: imagine being such a d-bag that even freaking Linus Tolvards calls you "a difficult person" - he says Linux folks do what they do "because they hate Microsoft" but they do what they do "because they love UNIX" but at the end of the day it seems they do what they do because they hate Linux.

They want to be more popular than Linux and their strategy is... to bitch about it instead of letting their own work speak for itself.

No OS is perfect. Not even self-proclaimed ultra-secure OpenBSD has been 100% free of vulnerabilities.
