The tendency is that seemingly newbies start using pre-build Linux
environments and use Linux as they would use Windows, IOW without
self-responsibility.

Take a look at http://distrowatch.com/index.php?dataspan=13 

Ubuntu is on a higher position than Debian is and Debian has the
tendency to get a lower position.
Manjaro based on Arch is on a higher position than Arch is.

Mint is on the highest position, people choose it because they like the
look and if they need help, they don't shy away from asking on Mailing
Lists that have absolutely nothing to do with Mint.

Those tendencies will make some Linux installs insecure, because the
problem exists between chair and keyboard, su or sudo or some other
technical reasons have nothing to do with it.
