[QUOTE="CyberDevil, post: 1087204, member: 91290"] I know Linux at the directory switching level and Curl is all I need as a developer. Okay, I can also run Docker and a container in it. But I won't gain any useful knowledge for my career by installing that on my home computer. Moreover, advanced Linux knowledge is mostly needed by Dev Ops specialists and system administrators - it's a huge knowledge stack beyond Linux itself, and Linux alone won't make your career. Linux is not synonymous with security. Vulnerabilities are published and found all the time. Repository maintainers are obscure random people that no one controls. It's all a big pandora's box where you never know what might be inside. Microsoft doesn't develop with convenience in mind - okay, I'll just install replacements for Start and Exlporer, which I like. What about Linux? Alas, I don't know of any distro that I will be comfortable with out of the box either. I'll definitely also be installing my own software and customizing, or replacing the UI altogether. A huge number of games don't work on Linux because anti-chit systems don't and never will support Wine. If a person cares about games, it makes no sense for them to limit the list of games available to them by choosing Linux over Windows. I don't think Windows doesn't care about security. Most of the community here uses Defender and are completely happy with the security it offers. A little customization and it's very secure, and you can't go anywhere without customization, especially not in Linux. I only plan on switching to Linux when I retire and buy a new PlayStation. =) That's a different perspective. [/QUOTE]
