    A system is only as secure as it is set up to be. Even Windows can be secure. Most of those who make such claims that a system is insecure have, in most cases, never really took a look into it.

      This is true, but I think if Linux was designed today it would have a permissions model similar to something like Android from the start. Every app would need explicit permission to access data and hardware, etc.

          It would be useful to a more security/privacy minded person though. There’s not much you can do to protect people from themselves.
