> I too believe that for most people Windows 10 out-of-the-box is more secure than most Linux distros. At the risk of being off-topic: Even if that were true (which I doubt but it has been better-debated elsewhere) ... 1) that list would be much-changing over time, and 2) it seems like Debian (or Devuan) stays on top of things reasonably well, especially if you add a firewall (I've liked the "arno-iptables-firewall" one though it doesn't seem to auto-start any more except on Devuan). Also, the length and changeability of that list illustrate why I use OpenBSD: it is more secure by default (as a key goal), and then when you make changes to the default config you can consider the security implications of each change. They put a lot of attention into auditing and making good design choices. Having said all that, many people simply won't like the feel of bsd or linux, and prefer a more commercial experience (for lack of a better term).
