I have been using Xubuntu for several years. Largely because it came packaged with XFCE, which I like very much.

I find that my version which failed to upgrade properly the last time I tried shows signs of possible system compromise.

The package I am running has “libcurl3-gnutls” included in it. The Xubuntu version is “7.21.3-1ubuntu1.5”.

I do no banking with this computer.

Have been thinking about switching to Fedora. I ran RedHat for years and liked it. I switched to XFCE for the first time under RedHat 8.0

What OS do you run? What OS do you think has the best security, overall?

It is a pain to transfer the data files for a clean reinstall but I think I am about to that point.

I run Fedora 20, using XFCE as my DE. The install DVD I use gives me the option of Gnome, KDE, or XFCE. I avoid Gnome like the plague.

As far as which one? It all depends on how you set it up--Most linuxes are pretty much the same in that regard.
