Tbf, you’re just swapping one glass of tainted punch for another. Both murder your data privacy and security.
I guess if you like Apple’s form of abuse more than Microsoft’s, more power to ya. It definitely isn’t the escape hatch you think it is for privacy or security though, that belongs to the Penguin crew.
Privacy sure Linux has it beat. Security? Simply untrue, particularly by default, unless you put a lot of time into configuration, in not exactly sure where that narrative is from it’s completely false. macOS for example has way better app permission isolation that Linux does unless you use only flatpaks. Also the open source system scanner that gives devices a cybersecurity score that I’m forgetting the name of at the moment can be used to prove this correct without going into extremely long detail. Compare the results from macOS and Linux by default and it’s pretty solidly in macOS favor. I use both but this idea needs to stop being spread simply because people have a vendetta against closed source. I love Linux probably more than macOS but there are still reasons to like and use macOS.
Oh I know, Linux is the way, but I mean that Apple’s implementation is just that smidge less intrusive since all data is processed locally rather than in some datacenter somewhere.
They’ll still extract whatever can make them money, no illusions there.
Has that actually been verified by a third party auditor? After the “deleted photos reappearance” incident, I would imagine that any Apple promise of “processes initiated from your device stay on your device” would just be a marketing tagline with an escape clause in one of their EULAs.

I think you meant OpenBSD, instead of Linux; it has the best security features of any OS.
