I was thinking about this after testing the new version of macOS and damn the article sucks.
In macOS 15 the firewall is broken and still not fixed, problems and inconsistencies with tccutil, there are still network leaks even if you use a VPN, just like that.
While it is true some of the things he says about Linux, in practice all these security measures that Macos and Windows claim to have are just nice slides.
I forgot to comment that OpenBSD is the most secure operating system that exists (if you need that level of security).
Here you have also a list of all the innovations brought by
OpenBSD:
https://www.openbsd.org/innovations.html
And here why it is the most secure operating system in the world:
https://www.openbsd.org/security.html
I have been a BSD user for almost 30 years, I have spent times where I liked BSD more and others more Linux, I have used BSD for years in production servers with 0 problems, especially web servers and data servers with ZFS (The best integration of ZFS has FreeBSD) lately I had something abandoned since I have codigo the taste to the immutable distributions of linux, but seeing as the shit of systemd increases and the political nonsense of Linus, BSD again knocks on my door.
Nevertheless a good Linux distro is still better than Macos and Windows.

quoting note1qm7…e5hyVery 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.
