I trust the community (including the security community) to do a better job at this than a handful of proprietary hardware and software vendors. Yes, it would be nice to have more openness on the hardware side too (and the Librem 5 phone is a worthwhile answer to that) but let's focus on the lowest-hanging fruit first.

How did that work out for HeartBleed bug that was in open source code for over two years?
Even worse, this 11 year old bug in the Linux kernel?

Heartbleed was found and fixed, and diagnostic tools quickly followed. OSS isn’t a panacea, but it’s something, no?

After two years? How is that better than closed source?
