I've been using Linux as my primary system for 10 years now. Isn't it a bit exaggerated to group all Linux distributions together with ubuntu?

I think of myself as minimalist (arch linux / i3 / tmux / zsh / vim), thus fitting the description, but I'm not convinced by the argument to make the switch. On the contrary, the article feels like I better be ready to donate a lot of money if I want the system to run as I want it to.

> It’s uncompromising. It’s not a people-pleaser or vendor-pleaser. Linux is in everything from Android phones to massive supercomputers, so has to include features for all of them. The OpenBSD developers say no to most things.

I'm not sure if that's a good thing or not. Doesn't sound very community driven.

The security focus is probably the most interesting part here. I probably had the wrong assumption that most security-focused guys were on Kali linux.

I'll need a bit more nudging to make the jump over.
