The five major upstreams are Ubuntu, Fedora, OpenSUSE, Debian, and Arch. Three of those are corporate, two have some questionable security practices. So there’s no perfect distro.

Can you explain the questionable security practices?

Not really, I’ve mostly just heard about their security problems on the grapevine, I don’t have specific concerns in mind. Arch is pretty famous for being lax on security. Debian for having a pretty scrappy organisational structure.

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Linux is a family of open source Unix-like operating systems based on the Linux kernel, an operating system kernel first released on September 17, 1991 by Linus Torvalds. Linux is typically packaged in a Linux distribution (or distro for short).

Distributions include the Linux kernel and supporting system software and libraries, many of which are provided by the GNU Project. Many Linux distributions use the word “Linux” in their name, but the Free Software Foundation uses the name GNU/Linux to emphasize the importance of GNU software, causing some controversy.
