this idea lies on a complete misunderstanding. Linux, without extensive hardening efforts, is ootb much more insecure than either Windows or macos

what do you mean you claim "more secure" here? secure in comparison to what, exactly?

there was no comparison between the cost of hosting. it was simply used as a baseline relative to market norms. your insistent on there being malicious actions taken is so odd

semantics

Hamas isn't performing genocidal acts nor have they said they would. this comment holds racist sentiments.

the Israeli state needs to be dismantled and power returned to the Palestinian people. Israel is nothing more than a European colonizer project with the goal of genocide towards Palestinians fueled by western antisemitic sentiment.

they've done it for you by accident

while, yes, regardless of your privacy settings google still collects a sickening amount of data on you, much of these things (like voice recordings and location history) can be managed and disabled in the settings. if you wish to go further, grapheneos removes A LOT of tracking potential.

these should be opt in features, but one can opt out of much of them.

this is known as a strawman. nice try

treating people respectfully is not getting offended. please touch some grass and open your eyes.

the only thing I'll say is the piece about "no viruses" would kinda go away if desktop Linux picked up at all. the security on a default Linux system is worse than macos and windows with substantial hardening efforts needed. the only reason viruses and other malware isn't common on Linux as is is because of the tiny user base.

with all this said, if enterprise use got more common, security would quickly become an important aspect.
