Could you elaborate on this?  I know many people have security concerns about Mint, but I&#x27;ve never found their arguments entirely convincing.  the opinion of the Mint devs seems to be that there&#x27;s a stability vs. security tradeoff, and that Ubuntu chose one point on the spectrum, while Mint chose another.  And that for a typical desktop machine sitting behind a router without a lot of ports open (or behind a corporate firewall), the tradeoff Mint chose is a reasonable one.  I&#x27;ve seen several attempts to explain why Mint should not be trusted, but they seem (to me) to eventually reduce to arguments that more security is always better, no matter the cost in stability or convenience.
