That's a long list. Is it commonly believed that out-of-the-box Ubuntu is more secure than OSX?

- rasengan 11y agoThis isn't exactly an answer to your question, as I do not know what the common belief could be and, as well, without doing serious research through the exploration of blogs, social networks and such to determine what said belief could be, it would be impossible to give a definitive answer. That being said, I don't think Ubuntu is any more or less secure than OS X. This is just a personal opinion.
- jkyle 11y agoBy default, neither operating system is running any publicly accessible services. By that metric, they're equally "secure" by virtue of not having anything an attacker could attack on first startup. After that, you could look at browser exploits as the most common attack vector. They tend to go back and forth, but all of them get pretty quickly rooted in competitions like Pwn2Own.
