That isn’t how it works for publicly traded companies. There is no such thing as enough only more

secure machines than Reddit servers

Not that I don’t agree but there is a pretty big citation needed there.

We don’t really know how secure Reddit Servers are and their attack surface is likely to be far larger.

I’ve been on Linux for a while and at this point must people use their computers as glorified thin clients for Chrome.

This has made Linux way more viable as a day to day OS. Valve is working very hard to make games viable and is seeing some success.

The major blind spots remain industry specific software outside of software dev. Things like Adobe suite and Microsoft office for example. They often have a Linux equivalent but it rarely fits well into industry standard work flows.
