just like there’s no solution for not punishing youtubers who follow the rules while allowing doxxers and pedos to use youtube to dox people and lure little girls into their houses.
And not just that, but each distro of linux has its own quirks and each one is compatible with a different list of brands of hardware. you could brick your system if you install the wrong distro on the wrong hardware, like down to the bios
And contrary to popular belief, LINUX CAN GET MALWARE JUST AS EASILY AS WINDOWS CAN.
With windows, there’s a 30 year history of malware infections and there’s several good choices for windows based antivirus programs, and three amazing ones. The people who work at those antivirus companies know how vulnerable windows is and so they’re always working on improving their software…at least the good ones are, but those same antivirus programs on linux don’t have nearly as much stuff in them to fight against APTs most linux versions of great antivirus programs like comodo and kaspersky are gutted down to just a regular antivirus with heuristics, no zero-day threat protection at all, you’re completely dependent on how fast the new malware can get added to the blacklist.
But on windows, if you use comodo and know how to configure it and understand that it will never pop up unless something might be wrong, you’re always prepared for zero-day threats and even zero-hour threats.
Linux used to be super secure, simply because there were so few people using it or even aware of it, but with every linux distro being open source, malware-makers can make all kinds of exploit kits for it in record time, because there’s no trial an error like there is on windows, at this point in time, no antivirus company is really prepared to deal with zero-day linux malware.
But windows users, even stupid ones know that you need an antivirus program on windows. So the malware-makers have to play a cat-and-mouse game with windows malware if they hit a decent number of systems with their malware, that malware isn’t going to be unknown for very long. And antivirus companies like bitdefender and avira, the former of which is great at adding new samples to the blacklist at super speed, and avira which isn’t as good at that anymore because they got bought by…norton? If I remember correctly, they rent their database out to other antivirus companies, Eset, another really good detector of new malware also rents their database out to other antivirus companies.
ClamAV is good at detecting linux based malware…as far as I’ve heard, but it’s useless against anything unknown to it.
windows is a pain in the ass to detail with…but that’s only if you don’t know how to work with it. Linux can be that way too. If there’s a bug in some software that fucks up parts of your OS, there’s not much support you can get from local techs, but if something like that happens with windows, there’s loads of freelance independent computer techs out there that know how to fix it.
Linux is cool, if you can make it work for you, great! But don’t act like windows is worthless. There’s ways to deal with the bloat, and there’s endless amounts of free advice on countless forums across the entire internet on how to deal with problems that come up
literally every cybersecurity expert is saying this would be a bad idea that could be used maliciously by anyone. I really hope the executives listen to them.
yeah, sure, it’s supposedly encrypted and supposedly stored locally exclusively and supposedly not turned on by default, but even if that does turn out to be true, scammers can use it with remote desktop to snoop, anyone who plants a RAT on your system could look through that shit too.
no! that would be immoral! I just stay in silence all the time and never listen to music!
Piracy is bad! How are billionaires supposed to afford their diamond/ruby/emerald encrusted platinum toilets or their gold plated hummers and gold plated lambos or their 20 top of the line, no expenses spared luxury private jets if we pirate things?!
WON’T SOMEONE THINK OF HOW LAZY AND SHITTY BILLIONAIRES ARE?! THEY CUT SO MANY CORNERS AND STEPPED ON SO MANY PEOPLE TO COLLECT MONEY FROM OTHER PEOPLE’S WORK! THEY DESERVE ALL THE MONEY MADE BY OTHER PEOPLE!
