Would you say kernel and privesc are worse or better on Linux? All else being "correct" I always had the feeling that this was handled well on mainline distros (Fedora, Ubuntu, Debian, OpenSuse) and some BSD distros (OpenBSD), maybe even better than Windows depending on what you're looking at.

To me, the comparison does not make sense and was definitely not my intention when I mentioned Linux in the guide.

It's just that privesc and kernel exploits is possible under some conditions on Linux.
