@ILeftReddit @theophrastus @heidrun @Sebastrion @Ivyymmy @orsetto on just linux ;)
@hyde running sketchy files on linux can be just as dangerous as windows. Linux's strength comes from it's trusted ecosystem of repositories and mainly open source programs which are easily auditable.
@ILeftReddit sure but it's still more secure than windows :)
@hyde too an extent yes, but once again, if you give root access to malware because you don't know any better, well you're kind of just as screwed. If linux is to become more mainstream and be a daily driver of the average user, this could be a common scenario
@ILeftReddit True... But I hope Linux users will learn a bit more about their OS 🤷♂️
@hyde I hope the same for windows users, but here we are haha
