[QUOTE="Threadripper, post: 808645, member: 78223"] Linux home users will never be targeted because of low market share, true. But those claiming Linux isn't secure and market share creates the illusion that it is couldn't be any more wrong. Your sudo password is everything, nothing bad can happen without it therefore a user can pretty much only intentionally infect themselves on Linux, a bypass is found? Patched the same day, maybe even the same hour with livepatching without requiring a restart. Windows? Yeah, you can wait a month. Windows comes with apps made by random developers like "Candy Crush Soda Saga" and all that rubbish, they're not even made by Microsoft and somehow Microsoft think it's okay to preinstall random apps from random developers... Absolute madness. Not to mention the attack surface area of a universe. You can lock down Windows, but that lovely Windows 98 code is still Swiss cheese if somebody tries hard enough. [/QUOTE]
