I would also argue that it's important not to conflate issues with the Linux kernel with any particular Linux distribution specific issue. The incident with Linux Mint is not reflective of the broader security of Linux in general, although it is good to point out that how one distributes anything can have security ramifications. I feel the same way about the discussion of Mirai - the only thing broken embedded/IoT systems have in common with any given Linux distro, is the kernel, and maybe a few basic userspace bits (sometimes). The site does have some interesting discussion about Core Infrastructure (again technically separate from Linux, although fundamental) and other Kernel issues and hardening though.
