[QUOTE="ForgottenSeer 58943, post: 834326"] Local Host is 100% correct here, and shatters the invulnerability myth of Linux. Linux can and does have issues related to malware. Even more concerning is the fact that the issues it does have offer extreme privilege escalation and much more intrusive compromises. In 2019 so far, Windows actually isn't the OS with the most compromises/CVE's. (tip - it's Linux) Even more concerning is the fact that Linux development and patch cycles are way slower than Microsoft and Kernal releases are even more infrequent resulting in a significant window of compromise. Can Linux be made more secure? Reasonably so provided the person is experienced working with it and they use the proper distro, and make some specific changes. Windows is more targeted, but Linux isn't necessarily the panacea. If Linux had an installed user base of 70% of the PC's on the market you'd learn really fast all of the fun things Linux does wrong.
