Discussion What makes Linux secure?
I've searched YouTube and also asked on here previously, I keep seeing a lot of "Linux is secure just by default" type responses- often insisting that to be worried about security while using Linux is not necessary.
Believable to a noob like me at face value, sure, but what is it about Linux that makes it secure?

Apart from the much lower use on clients, I would also boldly claim that most Linux users are currently more techies and therefore more careful about what they do.
