Comment on LinuX is The Most Un-Secure Barely Glued Operating System That Barely Work.

None of these are correct except maybe the last point. Idk why you would want Photoshop or any of that trash on your PC anyways. The only software that doesn’t work on Linux is software that’s intentionally designed to not work on Linux, and as private companies who own the software copyright there isn’t much you can do. That isn’t a fault of Linux. You can probably run them in a VM if you really must use those programs. I don’t use them for ethical reasons because I refuse to support software companies that try to force their users onto windows.

Also Linux is not insecure. Most of the world’s servers run on Linux. I realize you probably don’t understand this. The vast majority of malware targets windows and android anyways. Linux is very secure if you have a firewall like everyone has had for the past 30 years. If you are running a server with open ports then you need to be aware of what you expose to the internet. This is true for any operating system that isn’t hand built and has known exploits for its software.

Also antivirus does work on Linux, I’m not sure why you would say that, or why you would even want antivirus in the first place. You could just maybe think for a moment before you install something, it’s really not that difficult. Idk why you would run random stuff on your machine that you don’t trust or believe is trustworthy at least. You can always run it in a container.

Also the idea about Nvidia or gaming not working is also not even remotely true. I play many games every night on my 1070 running Linux. It works fine, and I’ve never had any issue with it. I’m using the proprietary Nvidia driver though. If you are using the open source one that is probably your issue.

Anyways if you are going to shit on something, maybe you should try to get your facts straight. Outside of some popular multiplayer games there is really no reason to not use Linux for gaming. You often get much better performance and compatibility. The real downside to using Linux is that it’s hard to learn. It has a very steep learning curve. Windows is still far easier to use for your average person, but windows has been nosediving for over 10 years now. At this point every minute you invest in windows is going to be a loss for you eventually. Might as well learn to use Linux because you are going to have to relatively soon whether you want to or not. Windows is dying and it’s becoming a locked down spyware infested ecosystem that doesn’t even work with a lot of software anymore that was designed for windows. They are abandoning backwards compatibility with every new version. There is basically no reason to use windows anymore other than habit and already understanding it or because you want to play GTA V and you don’t care about having a free computing culture.
