[QUOTE="monkeylove, post: 1081822, member: 19756"] Reminds me of that article about vulnerabilities and operating systems: [URL unfurl="true"]https://mspoweruser.com/analysis-shows-over-the-last-decade-windows-10-had-fewer-vulnerabilities-than-linux-mac-os-x-and-android/[/URL] I think one point to consider is that operating systems are vulnerable, and they become more vulnerable if you add more features. Meanwhile, more users want more features, and more operating systems become more popular if they include those features. Malware developers usually target popular operating systems. The vulnerabilities are usually know only after attack takes place, and the systems need to be patched to stop them. There's a cost for patching, and it can be covered with payment from users, who in turn, and mentioned earlier want operating systems with more features. In which case, to avoid all that you should probably use the least popular operating system, which means you get let go of many features you want. Otherwise, don't go online and don't let anyone use your machine. [/QUOTE]
