At worst, it's misinformation of lies by omission that could cause a non-technical lurker to believe that changing to Linux would render them immune to this kind of malware, and end up costing them dearly.
I’ve been in IT for 20+ years, and I completely understand and agree with your assessment.
I had an older family member call me about a year ago asking me about “that Linux computer.” After prying out of him what he’d heard, I advised him that installing Linux on his machine means he loses all of his non-backed-up data, and depending on the distro he chose, he might not be able to use things like his camera.
Linux is GREAT for people who are patient enough to learn a new operating system or who use computers for the bare minimum of email and web browsing. Beyond that, you’re better off with a Mac or a Windows PC. And besides, unwary users of even a Linux system could be infected by malware or a Trojan.
We’re on the same page. I’m just trying to keep you from expending your time and frustration on Utilizer. It’s a fool’s errand.
