I support free and open source software (FOSS) like VLC, Qbittorrent, LibreOffice, Gimp…
But why do people say that it’s as secure or more secure than closed source software?
From what I understand, closed source software don’t disclose their code.
If you want to see the source code of Photoshop, you actually need to work for Adobe. Otherwise, you need to be some kind of freaking retro-engineering expert.
But open source has their code available to the entire world on websites like Github or Gitlab.
Isn’t that actually also helping hackers?
Xz is such a great example of how open source is more resilient, and how much “core open source” project need a foundation supporting them
