- Linux may be Private, but it is not secure. Although Privacy is not that useful without security. The misconception that opensource is secure baffles me.

How impactful is free and open source software development?
It's security-specific, but I appreciate that in the wake of Heartbleed, the industry really did take things seriously, from the Linux Foundation's Core Infrastructure Initiative (now OpenSSF's Securing Critical Projects Working Group) to Project Zero, the latter of which is still quite active testing everything from Windows filesystem "filter drivers" to Apple's ImageIO library to old versions of Acroread to GhostScript sandboxing.

Microsoft pulls Windows 10 AMD driver causing PCs not to boot
I am not sure point you are making here? Are you saying linux is freaking stable, not even linux kernel developers gonna agree with you! (https://github.com/ossf/wg-securing-critical-projects/blob/main/presentations/The_state_of_the_Linux_kernel_security.pdf)

Why desktop Linux is finally growing in popularity
Not long before malware becomes more prevalent on Linux now that more people are using it. But Linux is not some magic bullet that stops all malware, you have to practice good opsec and harden your environment too. How to do this is outside the scope of my comment. If you are concerned though there are these resources:

- Finally a stable linux distro! Fedora 38 works great on 2021 M16!
- sudo vs doas - Which one is better security-wise?

Do you perform additional security hardening to Fedora after installation?
Between the Arch wiki on Security and this link alone, there's enough inspiration to harden some stuff.

Linux hardening checklist Workstation security checklist

What can I do to stay safe on my computer considering the current world events?
for workstation hardening, check out -- https://github.com/lfit/itpol/blob/master/linux-workstation-security.md
-
[Arch Linux] Since Arch is modular, applications like firewall and sandbox or antivirus need to be installed and configured manually. But is it really recommended to have those installed and configured as precautions?
now, if you want a hardened workstation you should check out this -- https://github.com/lfit/itpol/blob/master/linux-workstation-security.md -- mind you, some of the data on here, like browsers and extensions/etc are out-dated but the general premise is pretty solid.
- Linux noob, just got on Fedora - security related query.
- Useful IT Policies
-
What *general purpose* desktop Linux distros have the best overall security?
The Linux workstation security checklist would be a better recommendation. While also not targeted at home users, it gives at least some priority levels.
What are some alternatives?
