Honestly I think we missed the moment when Linux went the wrong path too.
What do you mean by that?
It's an enormous centralized project upon which much of the world depends.
And if you think you can find an intentionally put backdoor in a buttfuckazillion lines of code without even looking, purely by intuition or trusting some random security specialists from the news, then I think you've lost the way.
It's too complex and runs on too complex hardware. Honestly if we are going to look at any FOSS project with such hope, it should become a democracy first. A friendly reminder - Linux is a benevolent dictatorship, funded by corporations.
you are absolutly a troll
