This is just an opinion and not a very sensible one at that. The Linux TCP/IP stack is one of the most scrutinized network stacks in the world and more than likely free of bugs that coud lead to a server takeover.

lols, what about the sendfile and other vulnerabilities that lasted decades. Linux just does not have a secure mentality, it has a hacker mentality, maybe acceptable for a lot of uses, but it is what it is.

They thought QubesOS was secure but they found a trivial sandbox escape to root today.

Yeah, it’s well known that you can prove the presence of bugs but you can’t prove their absence.

All software is to be considered insecure, formally speaking.
