[QUOTE="ForgottenSeer 109138, post: 1087207"] Both operating systems have vulnerabilities, but Windows' larger user base makes it a more attractive target for attackers. By default, Linux systems are not explicitly hardened for maximum security. Linux prioritizes flexibility and customization. This means it's generally up to the administrator to implement security best practices. By default, Windows prioritizes usability and convenience over maximum security. This makes it easier for everyday users to navigate the operating system, but it also creates a larger attack surface for potential hackers. Hardening is essential for shoring up security on both Windows and Linux systems. Linux plays a critical role in infrastructure, web services, and mobile devices. Linux proficiency teaches valuable skills that go beyond the operating system itself. One can learn problem-solving, troubleshooting, and working with the command line, which are useful across many tech fields. [/QUOTE]
