some people were saying #linux is insecure, even less than Windows

where do these claims come from? are they true? what can we users do? #security #cybersecurity

@JuxGD Vaguely remember that being based on the amount of vulnerabilities found in a distro over a year compared to windows.

I think those stats are weighted in favour of windows because of the nature of open source.

@ainmosni wdym by "the nature of open source"?

@JuxGD Well, if all the source is open and readable, bugs of all kinds are easier to find and quicker to be fixed.

I'm willing to bet that linux distros have more known and patched vulns, but that windows rules the 0-day scene.
