yeah linux is way better now- burn a disk of the iso- you can run it without installing it- to try it out- or run it in a virtual machine to give it a whirl - i tried linux back in 90’s too- absolutely hated it- and like you i had all kinds of problems getting stuff to work with it- i tried linux again a few years back and was pleasantly surprised - Very easy to use now and it sees a ton of hardware now- hardest part is learning how to install hardware specific drivers- but even that is pretty easy now as their driver manager makes it pretty much a one click process these days depending on which distribution of linux you choose- i use mint- cinnamon edition- about as easy as they come-

As I said, Apple has now included the definition of this malware for their Gatekeeper built-in anti-malware and Mac users are now protected from it and any similar attacks using this Trojan.

I’ve been running OS X & now macOS since 2008. Never had a virus. Never had a problem.

Once I had an issue with one nasty malware. It deleted all files from my desktop. Some of them were really important. I used then one recovery tool, came across on cleverfiles site. In a few clicks all were restored. PS now I checked my Mac twice a week on malwares and viruses.
