Hi there,
Win10 is soon not supported. Tbh Linux have been on my radar since I started to break from the US big tech.
But how is security handled in Linux? Linux is pretty open-source, or am I not understanding it correctly. So how can I as a new user make sure to have the most secure machine as possible?
It’s kind of like Windows. You just hit that shiny “Update” button and boom, your software’s up to date and more secure. Depending on your Linux distro and setup, you might not even need to reboot, which is pretty cool.
Under the hood, most distros don’t really separate security updates from regular ones for everyday apps like your browser. They just roll them all together. But for the kernel, the super deep-core part of the system, sometimes you get security fixes without any new features. That helps keep things stable and safe.
