    I... yes? Literally the point of the post. In the words of infosec professional Bob Dylan, everything is broken. Diversity is strength.

      @rubenerd yes, I know that feeling. Every time I say using the BSDs is good to avoid monoculture, (some) people start shouting "but less eyes means less secure!"

      Somehow, some think that adoption rate is proportional to the security.

      I usually stop them saying that Windows is the most used desktop os, but, by far, the less secure.
