Nice to meet you. I told all my family to stop buying me presents and that I would stop buying them presents and that I’m not celebrating a holiday I don’t believe in. The holidays are a lot less stressful.

No Stupid Questions@lemmy.world•Is it reasonable to be concerned about security issues when switching to Linux?English
2·2 months agoThat does happen, and those are bad. These people are bucking the trend and bringing the Windows mentality to Linux and I hate it.

10·2 months agoMalware is the least of your worries with Linux. The real reason malware has historically been more prevalent on Windows isn’t necessarily because of market share, it’s in the way software is distributed. In the Windows world, you go to random websites and install proprietary software; you have no idea if it’s trustworthy, even when you’ve found the official site. On Linux, you get your software from repositories (like the app store on your phone) where the software is open source and has been reviewed. All this software comes from trusted sources, you’re never accidentally going to get malware from your OS.
