The security threat isn’t the issue, my skillset is.

In real life the biggest issue is almost always whether or not you as a user update your software regularly after security issues have been discovered and the fixes are rolled out. That includes your operating system.

I am pretty positive you don’t lack the skillset do manage that on the majority of mainstream Linux distros. It’s about as hard as opening your browser on most.

Obviously stick with the OS you think fits your usecase best, though.
