Linux: the last Windows security patch you’ll ever need.

I’ve installed Linux Mint Cinnamon/Virginia on TWO former Windoze machines (IBM Lenovo Laptop and an INTEL NUC mini) and couldn’t be happier.

Why the trouble?

That crash that took out Win 10/11 machines last month? Also took out Win 7+ on the NUC; I’d already had Linux running on the laptop for about a year just to figure it out.

I’m not missing anything.

Re: "Linux: the last Windows security patch you'll ever need."

Good laugh line.

However, what happens when Linux hits a 72% market share - like Windows today - and every hacker in the world starts attacking Linux?

Where is the central certified Linux authority that takes responsibility for fixing a Linux vulnerability?

How would you know an alleged Linux patch is not new demon software designed by brilliant hackers?

“Linux: the last Windows security patch you’ll ever need.”

That’s true.
