Here is why. Windows update

oh

You can make things look way cooler on Linux

Don't exist on Linux. Ur files never get purged and os is never force upgraded to the next windows bricking ur PC.

tell me why people trust antivirus software as if they are actually protecting them and not also causing hacking problems in order for you to buy their software

Linux doesn't have much of that

No idea, I hate antivirus software

why not

I use some on one of my nodes @Termer

Because it's more niche, and it's objectively more secure than windoze

Just doesn't need it

Unless you are running a node

It's used by over 80% of servers, so it's very secure.

how is a certain OS more resilient to hacking

Because of the way permissions are

It's not

uh oh

To hacking, it's not objectively more secure I suppose, although that seems to be the case. I'm not a cybersecurity expert, so I can't speak very knowledgably about the subject.

You can hack Linux just like windope. But if you are desktop user the way the user structure is laid out you have to sudo to get authority .

Yeah

sudo"

??

sandboxing everything helps though

Give it permission

what is sandboxing

You have to explicitely give viruses permission to run with full permissions

Means u have a box inside ur os that they can't get out of

why doesn't windows force programs to ask permissions to run

@Gilgamesh applications cannot access outside their own memory, so no dll hooking like in windows

Virtual machines for example.

but why would windows act that way in the first place

The software people use to troll those Indian call scammers

Windows is closed source mainly

which is why gameguard works on windows but cannot on linux

Linux has a lot of open code

Yep

closed source, but open to government intervention

amirite

Yeah

Yeah actually lol.
