Nice, don't reply to the point on security and shift goal posts. So you admit that "disk encryption" doesn't work ? Year of the Linux Desktop wohoooo. Also did you see Windows announcement about a cloud based OS :) sounds familiar ? But sure hate a Google product. It's the fad these days.

I did answer, but you weren't paying attention.

GNU/Linux security is better than ChromeOS because the updates are guaranteed for longer than six years, if one buys a laptop from someone like System76, or plenty of small Linux shops, it can be properly configured with encryption, LinuxSE, Flatpak/Snap/whatever.

Windows is a proper OS and its cloud offerings are not new.

Have a look at all the ancient Linux routers everywhere. They have all kinds of nasty security issues up to RCE. Linux and open source doesn't solve anything by itself. It must be brought to the customer -- without interaction.

Security must be the default. Automatic updates, sane default configuration. And a user interface that supports security.
