The best part about linux (for me) is that it got me off Windows, much like AA gets people off booze. I never got into it, again, personal preference. I changed the application window's title bar to match the button layout from macOS. Dock on the bottom using Latte Dock, menu bar on top with Global Menus turned on to match macOS. I have my KDE configured to almost exactly mirror macOS. I feel it tries to be too much like the Windows UI 🤢. I do get the default look of KDE can be a bit off putting to some. Don't like a certain default app, most likely there is an alternative.

if you don't like a certain DE, you can always use a different one. This is where linux really shines! I gives us options. If you want something more headless server oriented, FreeBSD or Debian Server If you want something with a nice GUI, Ubuntu Mate or ElementaryOS.

If they need to reduce performance by 500% to get the security they want, they'll accept that, even if the risk of exploitation is basically nonexistent because no known exploit has ever been seen or thought-up.įor a 'reasonable' level of security if your life doesn't literally depend upon nobody learning anything about your data, basically any *nix will be good for you.

The OpenBSD team will go so far for security that even if there is no known threat and no proven way of exploiting a system, if it is considered a theoretical possibility, no matter how tiny, they will kill it. Hyperthreading is disabled by default for example. So hardware compatability isn't that big a concern - Pretty much anything is compatible with the hardware.Īs for security At what level? Something like OpenBSD may be the most secure option you'll find, but that comes at the cost of speed.
