    Inb4 linux is better but ignoring that things like “trusted” repo upgrades could come with a side order of compromised for months, including spyware

    Turns out, not everything is black and white

      That happened one time, and it was caught before it was deployed to 99% of the people using Linux (assuming you’re talking about the SSH hack, which was likely State sponsored).

        Thankfully the spyware on windows is state sponsored and its also preinstalled 👍. You dont have to worry about cybersecurity because you are always compromised anyway.

          Yeah, in the case of Windows tracking it is literally sponsored by the government, in the sense that they take our tax dollars, and hand them to Microsoft in exchange for all the data they steal.

        Literally just said that windows is a dumpster fire for the majority of the time

        Then explained that I also don’t think Linux should be seen as somehow better, and that it’s just a variant with different problems

        But I guess that flew over your narrow mindset.

        See ya

          I must be missing it. Where in the above comment did you “Literally just said that windows is a dumpster fire for the majority of the time,” hmm?

          See ya indeed.
