Macs are actually secure. Not as much as ios, but compared to the general linux userspace, it is like a military establishment vs a homeless tent.

    Did you miss the part where I said they use the security argument to lock down the device and restrict the user? In addition, Linux distros in their default configuration may not be secure - but there are plenty of packages that can secure it down to a deep level. It just depends on the user's threat level assessment. That military establishment vs homeless tent analogy is just pure hyperbole and FUD.

    Security doesn’t work like that and I find it important to share the insecure nature of most linux distros with many people, hopefully to make it improve one day.

    Currently a make install can do literally anything to your computer besides installing a video card driver (as per the old xkcd comic) and sure there is firejail.. but let’s be honest, how often do you use it? Defaults matter, and thus linux is insecure.

    Also, again, how is osx locked down? What’s a concrete thing you can’t do on it?
