When I refer to Linux, I am referring to a computer with the kernel and other software that makes up a Personal Computer.

I like to think that Linux is great, and always will be, a Personal Computer. Windows, I will always remember it being the best thing for business’s as Microsoft pushes licenses and such business related features.

I switched to Linux in 2020, Ubuntu, and slowly learned my ways around, and understanding how everything works, but most people don’t have to now, it’s so simple to get started.

    “Provides more security than windows”

    This is the only one I seriously doubt.

    Ms defender is actually something I wish we had a replacement for.

    Read only root fs is a start, but it doesn’t protect my documents.

    Like your linux doesn’t get hacked because no one cares, if we become a target we are helpless more or less.

      And there are still people who will downvote you for saying that Linux distros are not impregnable fortresses of OS security

      Linux can be secured on much deeper levels than windows, by default yes it lacks antivirus but its also much less necessary given the software distribution model of Linux vs windows. But ClamAV is a decent antivirus that I use on my Linux server. Never felt the need for one on my workstation/laptop
