It can only be having more security than having less security, but it cannot be "secure".
Yes, I understand that, but ... the quote by NeonRed, e.g. that all X applications can have access to the screen indicates to me that the system is far from being 'nearly' secure! At least windows + Avast gives me what is claimed to be an isolated browser for banking mode. The processor vulnerabilities recently identified might reduce that security though. Must investigate Avast free Home edition for Ubuntu before I lose confidence in linux for anything other than basic tasks where security is not important.
EDIT: Seems like Avast free home edition for Linux no longer exists!

4) eeePC 701 32bit LL3.8 1GB ram, slower & stable but small and light enough to travel with me to New Zealand when visiting family in Blenheim.
