In comes @madthumbs@lemmy.world with the #SecurityThroughObscurity argument that the #SiliconValley barons have been promoting for decades now.

This is why #Arch or #NixOS shouldn't be your first recommendation for newcomers.
In fact, if we are to go by high security standards, your first distro should be an immutable one like #Bazzite or #Silverblue.
