    This is actually what I am a bit afraid of. Im danish and Denmark is becoming way to digital in the sense where we use digital ID to access banking and other systems which needs you to be identified (tax, healthcare etc).

    The open source stuff is a bit daunting when you actually don’t know shit like me.

    But as you say, Microsoft might not be better.

    Ah okay… I am kinda new in the lingo so sorry if I butcher some of it.

    So it is the developers of the distros who are pushing updates?

    I know you can never trust companies like Microsoft, but they are a bit more regulated by laws as they are big corps… How can you trust a distro enough to e.g. use online banking ?

    Since I was referring to win10 losing support I thought it was understood that I asked about security updates like windows does. Pardon me. But to specify, how is the ongoing security updates working on Linux? Who does it? Is it even being done? It is an assumption on my side that the security is done in the same manner like win and mac, with continuous updates but that might as well be a wrong assumption.
