This list is cringey, at a minimum (seriously, almost half of this list is something about how many flavors there are), and dangerous at most: looking at you #5. Linux IS NOT IMMUNE TO VIRUSES! As a matter of fact, every Black Hat convention for the last 5 years saw a Linux distro hacked FIRST with MacOS second.

That said, Linux has its place, and it’s a great OS for development.

Yeah--those hacks are not viruses. There is a difference.

Yes, the “no viruses” is like 10 years past its expiration date.

And so far, it is limited to local physical hands on access to do it. Don’t let anyone you do not know use your computer.

Cringey list as well. I have noticed the millenials are and inch deep in subjects and think they are experts.

I have run and managed open systems for 24 years and never felt the need to create my own distro. I worked with a chap to help him create a custom build based off gentoo and it was so much work it just wasn’t worth it unless you are in a highly specialized area of compute.
