I would go deeper on point 2. "Linux takes security very." There is no impenetrable system except one completely disconnected from the internet, which is not a practice way of using a computer in 2020. But most of the distributions based on GNU/Linux offer a good user experience with very high security standards tanks to 3 reasons:
Open Source offers transparency. Although the most of us cannot understand the source code of Linux there are talented Individuals as well as Organizations both profit and no-profit making sure the source is not corrupted by malicious code, embedded backdoors and so on.... All these organizations pursue very different objectives and serve different interests and agendas, which may suggest that there is no centralized power bending intentionally the safety of the OS to pursue the own interest.
On the other hand, Windows, OsX or source code of other proprietary OSs is not exposed to public reviewing, hence we have no idea what's inside. You can either trust them or not, and I suggest you to don't trust them. They give us enough evidence on the way the treat our private information to believe that under the hood things are even worst.
Linux distributions offer controlled software repositories. The most popular distributions offer a package manager and a software center full of good and safe open-source software, just install it and it will be kept updated in the future automatically (if you desire so). Even if you install cloed-source software though a PPA it will be kept updated automatically. On the other hand, the most of the time I hear of people getting malicious software on their win pc or being victims of a scam it has to do with their inability to select secure software from a secure source. And may times when it doesn't have to do with malicious software the bad experience on windows is ensured by bloatware that comes with the installer package or preinstalled on Windows 10 (great job microsoft!).
Safety measurements are taken into the kernel. Yes, the most of the safety on Linux distributions don't come from patches or anti-virus software it comes from coherent solutions right in the kernel, which are more efficient and respectful of your experience. How many times evidence is collected of anti-virus software spying on you or using too many system resources to compensate windows limitations?

Very good points, thanks for sharing them @MatteoCarotta.
I will look over them in detail as soon as I finish my new article.
Your points would be a huge contribution to the article would you allow me to quote you and credit you?
Also as aside not the article was created using only the knowledge I accumulated in my head over the years.
