Where is the MX Linux source code?
by tux2x from LinuxQuestions.org on (#545Y9)
Hi everyone,
I'm planning to switch from Microsoft to Linux. MX Linux seems for my older machine the most fitting right now. I searched but couldn't find their source code. Where can I find it? The reason behind my question is: why and how can I trust this specific Linux distro more than Microsoft? Did some security experts actually test it for backdoors and datasending? I always have doubts that Microsft sends data or keystrokes back home but how could I feel more safe with Linux? The people who provide it seem to be kind to take their free time and program it, but I don't know them. If they were bad they could even put some hidden backdoors to their distro and get data from me too.
Can anyone convince me that it is safe to use and relieve me from my doubt?
Thank you in advance for your answers!
