Frig off idiot

wtf i hate linux now

>Using non https sites
I bet this would be a huge security risk in 2012 or something.

freecucks LMAO when will they learn?

Meanwhile windows bugs leave all 4 million windows users vulnerable to attacks.

Windows has how many vulnerabilities? You should really think before you shitpost, kid.

...

>3.6

Wow...really makes you think...

>whataboutism
every OS is shit, you retarded bootlickers

>CVEs specifically applying to a 1-year-old operating system vs. CVEs applying to a two decade-old kernel that forms the base of numerous operating systems
really makes you think

Holy shit. You're even more retarded than I thought.

>LALALALA! Windows 7, 8, 8.1, don't exist! LALALALALA!

>adding together all the CVEs for 7, 8, 8.1 and 10
>1272
>still less than Linux

Huh..

rly makes u think

>meanwhile on OpenBSD where security is actually considered

>236 over the last 18 years

>3.6
If you don't keep your shit up to date you deserve to get hacked.

>Linux 4.4.0
>mfw this is meaningless to me
better luck next time nerd

>not being on 4.7

>not being on 4.8
lmao granpa

>not being on 4.4 lts

enjoy your instability you faggot

There's, like, nothing to exploit though.Busybox on Android is more useful than this shit.

Why am I not surprised? Linux has always been terrible for security.

>The amount of samefagging
LMAO

...

>Closed source
>STILL shipping the most vulnerable software
Pajeets in charge of security

All of these comparisons are retarded. You need to order it with the score weighted by the number of vulnerabilities and the amount of time the project existed. And that's excluding the popularity of researching a project over its lifetime.

>suicide watch
Why is this a meme when people own a shitty product?

Severity of the vuln is a major factor to consider as well. Wangdows has always led the pack in this catagory.

Everything, everything is able to be compromised with enough skill, sophistication and time

There will never be a secure user space in any true definition of the word.

Except the many programs that have been mathematically proven to be secure.

>Linux bug
It's GNU/Linux, or as I've recently taken to calling it, GNU plus Linux.

>programs
Cool beans I guess an OS doesn't count as a program in the strictest sense but my point remains.

The Apple MacBook Pro with Retina Display doesn't have this problem.

DELWT THIS

Incorrect. The Linux operating system is referred to as "Linux".

Based on years of conversations, I am convinced that part of the cause of the problem is the tendency to call the system Linux rather than GNU, and describe it as open source rather than free software.
