I don’t begrudge anyone taking on the task of learning and working in Linux. I know some people who’ve spent the last 10+ years working solely in Linux. Good on them.

Making a list that touts some level of immunity to bad actors for any operating system is dangerous. I’ve worked in cyber for almost a decade, and the misunderstanding around how easy it is to compromise an organization let alone a home user is frustrating.

I spend half of my week just talking to engineers and executives to enlighten them on the latest scams and dangers in the field. It’s a constantly moving target, and articles like these don’t help matters.

nailed it. And your clients probably read sugar pop articles like this and then authoritatively say, “I need Linux bc it doesn’t get viruses, or windows doesn’t do x.”
