One man's opinion: *NO* computer is secure enough for an individual's
banking or investments.

I've never made a bank account or investment account available via the
web in my life. People used to laugh at me and call me a greybeard.
Then Heartbleed happened, and they pretty much shut up after that.

As far as paying bills online using your credit card number, I think
good personal hygiene like always making sure it's https and not
clicking on links from unknown senders makes more of a difference than
the exact distro you're using.
