This table is not meant to be clear-cut. Phyllome OS is intended to be easy-to-use, but still isn't. Out of the box, Chrome OS [^1], or even Windows [^2], might be considered more secure than most Linux desktop-oriented distributions [^3], at the price of greatly limiting user freedom and privacy, however. Due to their tight integration, some BSD distributions might be considered more secure than some Linux distributions. Finally, just as Phyllome OS, Qubes OS is compatible with running Windows-based guest systems. In other words, using virtualization, a user might be able to access more usable operating systems, and in the case of Phyllome OS, one may even host Qubes OS inside Phyllome OS.
This table is not meant to be clear-cut, or definitive. Pull requests are welcome.
Also note that macOS or Windows can also be used to host virtual machines, just as any Linux or BSD distributions.

Due to their tight integration, some BSD distributions might be considered more secure than some Linux distributions. People might find Windows easier to use than, say, Ubuntu. Finally, just as Phyllome OS, Qubes OS is compatible with running Windows-based guest systems. In other words, using virtualization, a user might be able to access more usable operating systems, and in the case of Phyllome OS, one may even host Qubes OS inside Phyllome OS, for instance to test out Qubes OS.
