Has anyone pointed out yet that although there's all this noise about people ditching Windows for Linux, Windows does at least have a built in, reasonably effective antimalware solution, and Linux is, shall we say, relatively immature?

@http_error_418 tbf, Linux doesn’t have nearly the same risk for malware as Windows does

@http_error_418 didn’t say it didn’t have issues, just said that the risk is significantly less. It’s not really an assumption if it is frequently monitored and verified https://portal.av-atlas.org/malware/statistics

@redscroll why do you think there is so much more malware aimed at Windows? Because that's where the money is. A few people switching won't change that. But if it becomes a major player in the desktop market, that will change very quickly.

@http_error_418 fair point! Ecosystem is quite diverse though, which is good for resilience
