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?
When my kids were in their teens they had windows machines.
They had windows machines, because all their friends had windows machines.
you know what kids are like, click on every thing. oblivious to danger.
malware, viruses, the lot. of course, good old idiot dad had to sort it out. spending hours running anti-virus programs and malwarebytes etc
I got really annoyed one day and while they were at school. I totally removed windows and installed linux mint xfce on both their machines.
Set everything up for them exactly how I used my linux machine.
Once they were online, had their web browser open, found they could login in to all the things they liked and still enage with their friends.
I never heard a peep from them. no more anti-virus scans or malware.
It was heaven.
Ive used Linux for 20 years and never had a virus.
