    Can they do it? Yes. Can they do it with a reasonable level of support for many different desktop hardware so it’s cheap to implement? Probably, though it won’t be as comprehensive as windows. Can they get a 1:1 replacement for windows that has the same level of security as windows? No, because many national governments collaborate on windows security. But! They’ll be safe-ish from NSA back doors in windows (if you think there are any)

      The likelihood that windows doesn’t have a back door for the US government is irrelevant.

      No windows user can guarantee every part of their OS is clean.

      Linux users have the advantage of Open Source.

      If you run Linux, you can audit the code. Can’t do that for windows.
