Linux is insecure OOB and generally misconfigured by it's users. Windows remains the defacto choice for bros who want security.

I'm ignoring the first part of your sentence because meh.

However "Windows remains the defacto choice for bros who want security". I'm genuinely curious about this part of the statement. Could you please elaborate

I dislike Windows the same as everybody on here, but they do a lot of security engineering such as virtualization based security, for example their hypervisor enforced code integrity stuff.

Stockholm syndrom, amiright? No seriously.. Windows has a continuous stream of security vulnerabilities. Linux has cryptsetup, dm-verity, secure boot signing, TPM, proper sandboxing, QEMU, etc.
