alalalalalalalala your reasoning is completely wrong. its not better to fix security vulnerabilities but the bugs which cause them, which is the better approach and the one that openbsd adopts with their code auditing process. security holes are just those that have been fallen through and gone unnoticed.

no it doesn't, its the best operating system out there - even better than ubuntu imo. first off, its way better than its predecessor, windows 95. secondly, its supported with security updates and everything up till next year, which is when they're gonna release windows 7.

Re: Linux Distros

Windows 7 was released Yesterday or the day before if I remember correctly...

It's out already. 2000s predecessor was 98 and it was better.

- Better package manager coupled with AUR for easy install and managing of obscure packages
