A heads-up for anyone new to Linux & open source software:
Open-source doesn't automatically mean trustworthy.
Open-source has the enormous advantage of publicly visible source code but most of the time, that code is:
not being checked
or being checked by very few people
or being checked by many people but not anyone skilled enough to identify highly clever PTB backdoors
This is why we see linux development & adoption receiving exponentially less resistance from the PTB.
They are confident they will be able to sneak backdoors into popular open source software.

I'd like to add : Checked pre update, and laziness updates without checking.
Is there a secure, confidential solution? Does one already exist? If not, With proper funding, does the technology already exist to make one?
