CryptoSecure, depends how done but again, neither can be fully trusted when they were headed by government agencies in the past.

I don't trust Linux now that Microsoft got mits on it with WSL. RedHat sold-out to IBM and Debian got in bed with Canonical. Arch & Valve I might lead more too but then again I guess they've got to make money somehow.

I use FreeBSD and I don't trust that either unless I can do make install world.

They do with enterprise but not the way they do with consumers. There is no point selling data for ads on couple thousand servers for pennies when they make millions with licensing and support.

All the code microsoft, redhat and canonical contribute to linux is open source anyways.
