I hate when people keep repeating the myth that Linux is more secure than X OS without any understanding of how much Linux gets exploited.
On the other hand, FreeBSD rarely suffers from wide security issues.
Overall, I don’t think anyone should repeat the myth that Linux is secure.
And at least if they gonna recommend Linux, they better recommend a good distro with SeLinux, hardened kernel and hardened OS.
Sounds like you speedrunned distro hopping and used anything but the stuff people actually end up using. I recommend not to look at distros but the base OS. Distro is just a bunch of things on a base. Also I’ve never used Gnome, but friends who have used it eventually switched to literally anything else.
Also, never expect things to be 100% plug and play and then complain about them with no research. There is always a limit with every software. And there are always resources and guides.
Of course it was my mistake that the HDMI port didn’t work with KDE? On arch linux. I was using it wrong
