    If it's important, chances are it's running on linux.

    Microsoft's servers run linux.
    apple.com runs on linux.
    Windows 10 has a linux subsystem.
    OSX has a unix core.

    Say all you want about it, but in the competition between Windows, Linux, and MacOS, there's a pretty clear victor.

    They both have vulnerabilities. From an offensive point of view, use whatever you want, there's a weakness in everything.

    If linux was closed source it probably wouldn't have been accepted by the gnu community

    But Linux will never notice you.

    If it’s important, it’s running BSD

    @Wallpaper Both vulnerabilities: true. But from my own penetrating experience, it's *slightly* harder to crack a box which runs fedora with SELinux enabled than any windows box!

    Well at least your teacher knows what linux is. Or anything outside of a (pre-configured by someone) .NET framework :(
