Those guys love to install proprietary software without asking, that’s not what I would call “great”.

Yeah, sure, but OpenBSD almost doesn’t have proprietary software. I dunno why they keep those bits. But with HyperbolaBSD we will have a 100% libre system.

rms used a time-sharing system with others with no security at MIT and the system worked just fine.

A local network is a different use case, we are connected to the Internet now. Obviously local computers are more trustworthy.

Security is a convenience feature really.

I partially agree with you. Certainly, people always gravitate towards complete security solutions for convenience sake (the reason why antiviruses are so popular). But security is still needed, especially when your communication isn’t restricted to your local network. So while libre software is more important, security is at least the close second. That does not mean that a secure proprietary system is better. That means that a secure libre system is better.
