  the antivirus and other security things I use, mostly.

  Contrary to popular belief, linux CAN get malware. And antivirus on linux and mac is watered down to just heuristics and signatures.

    All very fair points. software security, its a big problem only getting worse for every OS atm.

    Reflecting on recent events I have been impressed with immutibility and how nixos novel approach has really shined against the very big recent security incidents.

      the differences on windows is that there’s several antivirus programs that work well. Most are garbage, but there’s several that are pretty good, and a small number of things you can add on to those setups that are awesome

  Are you actually or just looking to have an argument over it in effort to prove something? Linux is definitely great. But it’s still not the option for many, even if there are alt apps.

    What wasnt clear in my comment?

    It also wasnt to you, your hostility shows you’re the one looking for internet arguments.

      Hazards of an open forum; other people will talk to you. If you don’t like that, avoiding the internet or at least forums might be easier for you.

      Looks like I hit a nerve though if you are already jumping to trying personal attacks though.

      I asked you because too many tech people, not even just linux people, enter into this argument with bad faith. Never intending to actually hear someone out or accept their position. Setting out with the sole intention of trying to prove to someone that their platform is accessible or superior in some way. And that’s just not the reality for many people when they delay leaving a platform. Evangelize all you like, but veiling it behind an attempt to help when you don’t care to, is disingenuous and doesn’t help anyone…

      Do whatever you like, I really don’t care. I was just trying to find out if it was a bad faith argument, and seems I have my answer.
