desktop linux is insecure - desktop Linux distributions, including Debian, Fedora, Ubuntu, Arch, Gentoo, all suffer from a complete neglect of basic security principles

I'm not sure what to think about this. I'm a big fan of sandboxing programs, its part of the implementation in GrapheneOS for a more secure phone. And pointing out that no desktop OS is fully secure is also a good thing. But saying there is a 10 year old exploit in Linux systems that you know about, but then rather then help write code to fix the problem it is decided to just write a new OS based on ChromeOS, seems like taking a step in the wrong direction.
If Bjorn is able to write and release this proposed OS, I would like to try it. Until then I'm still on Linux.

Aren't there many fortune 400 companies highly interested in making Linux secure?

All of which are nothing compared to just one bank interested in seeing its downfall.
