"It's a common assumption that the issues within the security model of desktop Linux are only "by default" and can be tweaked how the user wishes; however, standard system hardening techniques are not enough to fix any of these massive, architectural security issues."

"The hardening required for a reasonably secure Linux distribution is far greater than people assume. You would need to completely redesign how the operating system functions..."

Very interesting article about the state of Linux security.

While I agree with what it says, I don't agree that Windows is going in the right direction, because the mitigations that windows introduces are useless as long as they don't break backward compatibility.

Windows has a basic problem, an architecture problem mainly due to the binary backward compatibility which makes security problems dragging and difficult to fix.

On the other hand, if you need extreme security and privacy, use Qubes OS.
