Linux Mint "generally very bad when it comes to security"

Over the weekend, news broke that Linux Mint's servers were compromised, and ISO images were replaced by compromised versions with a backdoor. Everything was made public, and int responded in the only way they could: disclosure, site taken down.Sadly, it turns out that Linux Mint has somewhat of a bad name when it comes to security.To conclude, I do not think that the Mint developers deliver professional work. Their distribution is more a crude hack of existing Debian-based distributions. They make fundamental mistakes and put their users at risk, both in the sense of data security as well as licensing issues.I would therefore highly discourage anyone using Linux Mint until Mint developers have changed their fundamental philosophy and resolved these issues.Let's hope this issue raises a number of red flags for the Mint team so they can start to take steps to better the situation.
