A very hot and very wrong take.

NixOS at least has immutable read-only system images. This makes it a thousand times less interesting to a potential attacker than a Debian system.

For every Mossad agent crafting elaborate impersonation scheme to steal state secrets, there are a million script kiddies looking for insecure servers for a botnet.

P.S. A bigger issue is the complete inability of the "security industry" to understand even basic threat model issues. More proof that this entire "industry" is a joke and a clown show.
