There’s always a guy. It’s great that your favorite distro is definitely safer. An order of magnitude fewer exploits will mean only a few thousand or so, I suppose. Ozymandis used Gentoo.
Well, as they're a FreeBSD dev, I would be surprised if they pointed anyone in a different direction.
FreeBSD is not a distro. It's not even Linux; it's a completely different kernel and operating system that traces back to even before Linux. It's honestly closer to Darwin than it is to Linux; macOS is technically a BSD. (Not FreeBSD though.)
Calling FreeBSD "just a distro" is verging on insulting. It's an operating system.
