If system security is the most important criteria above everything else, switch to using BSD.

So you switch your OS every time a vulnerability is discovered in it? You'd run out of OSs really fast

That's the goal of OpenBSD, to prioritize security and actively find ways to crack or break OpenBSD in order to consistently harden it to the point that people at DEFCON conferences have given up trying to hack it due to being such a lengthy process each time only to fail.

Switch to using BSD

As a person who was using OpenBSD as a main driver for 2 years, yeah it's got it's benefits and the like. But I'll stick to Parabola anyway.

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.
