Linux is the gift that is going to keep on giving for years to come. At least a windows box can be usually fixed. Good luck getting a vendor that went out of business 3 years ago to help you.
So you are saying tht the exact same numbers of malware and virus exist for Linux and PC, and that Windows is just as secure?
Consider that at least you were smart enough to post AC.
Silly AC - this is not a tit for tat, where you point out a Linux problem as if it were teh equal of a Windows problem. Sorry, but we are talking about a body of work, and Windows is lapping the field several timas regarding it's abysmal security.
But hey - IIRC Windows ten is the most Secure Windows ever! Like W8, like W7, like Vista,

I don't see that statement in QPs comment. So... you like putting words in other peoples mouths to make a point?

Is it not true that Linux is used on many millions of IoT and network devices? Is it not true that oftentimes the makers of these devices do not provide any meaningful support after the release of the devices? Is it not true that over and over again such devices are found to have fixed passwords, gaping security holes ore are using libraries with known security problems?

I like cutting to the chase. Trying to parse his comment wasn't easy, bit in the end, I just decided that since he was expounding something superior abut Windows over Linux with the cryptic at least they can be fixed comment - I just took a stab at what he was trying to say. Don't like it? sue me.

And trying to conflate the issues of IOT with a Linux install on a PC is disingenuous. Having a fixed password and lack of support or updates is a manufacturer's issue, not a problem with Linux My Linux installs
