My conclusion is, yes you are wrong about Linux mate as long as Linux continues to be community driven it will always be better and far more secure then all the commercial counter parts.

It is my theory about security:

Commercial software is easier to compromize then comunity OSS software for a simple reason, the number of people working in each case.

1 Comercial software Just employ a limited number of people developing and usually there are those "idiotic" old fashioned manager that use the cost cutting solution of downsizing staff and departments, making the software dificult to update and less secure and easier to compromize.

2 Community Driven software usually developed by loads of users, supporters, sympatizers, enthusiasts and freelancers, making the speed of making updates, patches and new versions much quicker

And in conclusion people that usualy make build or program "viruses and other nasty apps", Will find it more dificult to compromize the second case, due to the varierty of standards and the speed of wich the solutions (patches are developed), although community driven software is usually open source the amount of knowledge to gather is greater and more dificult to learn then the one size fits all strategy.
