While one system may have strengths or weaknesses and one may be more secure
than the other, no system will ever be more secure than the one you know.
Don't pick a system you know nothing about and use software you are not
familiar with and expect it to be a safer solution than the one you are
familiar with and know how to use.
then again, the most inexperienced user on the planet who couldn't find his
way home if standing in front of his house could still manage to install
Ubuntu and be more secure than windows... ha ha!
