[QUOTE="Brahman, post: 1044949, member: 11847"] It doesn't matter much for sys admins, as they can make both equally secure imho. But I feel Linux has an advantage of being more secure out of the box. Windows without a 3rd part security software is not as secure as Linux is. I have installed fedora in my wife's laptop with nextdns doh and firewall set to drop all incoming with a user account without admin privileges and I know she will not be able to install a malware in it at all. What this gives me is peace of mind, i know I don't have to worry about security of her system. She is also happy with fedora, everything she needs to run on it runs just fine. So I vote for linux, especially for fedora. [/QUOTE]
