I think this line was meant mainly to refer to his closed source iPhone, OS X, and Windows use. Perhaps he means his Linux usage is one of the more mainstream distributions that readily facilitates installation of binary kernel blobs (e.g. wifi, video), or 3rd party closed source software.<p>He may also be calling Linux insecure due to it being less uncompromisingly about security. Same could be said about FreeBSD--they aren&#x27;t necessarily insecure, but they are not as explicitly focussed on that.<p>OpenBSD invests a great deal here. They have their own fork of Xorg (or was that XFree86?) that runs not as root. As far as I know that&#x27;s unique amongst libre *nixen.<p>EDIT: this is what I get for starting a response, getting coffee and resuming my reply. We don&#x27;t have to speculate what the author of is post intended, and his response is better than mine ;-)
