      It depends what aspects of security are important to you. Free and open source software in general gives more economic securityas it provides you with acces to a PC even when you do not have money for buying a next version of a proprietary OS like Windows. Moreover, by not relying on centralized corporations like Microsoft you limit the likelyhood of your failure when they fail.
      When it comes to anonymity, it is Tails OS which is recommended by Wikileaks for sources, https://wikileaks.org/-Leaks-.html#submit_help_tips
