Linux: OK

User: Oh great, I downloaded a virus

Linux: Lol. You should have read the 2000-line python script on github before running it.

Actually there's extensive documentation on the arch wiki regarding this specific line of code burried 1673 lines deep.

I suggest you read the documentation before you ask irrelevant and, might I add, embarrassing questions.

Because paying a few grand a year for a certificate somehow makes your software more trustworthy

You're being sarcastic but even small fees immediately weed out a ton of cruft.

They also weed out a lot of legitimate software, especially if it's non-commercial.

I'm not saying there aren't downsides, just that it isn't a totally crazy strategy.

Let's make it clear. The only virus on a PC is its owner. It never emerges on itself

Mac does it now too. But they do it because they are anti-competitive and want to make you use the Mac app Store. They need to be broken up.

I can navigate Windows well enough for my job, but I'd never choose it for personal use. I'm no Linux expert, but I haven't yet been faced with a problem I couldn't solve.

😂 What exactly is hard to "navigate" about windows for personal use? (or professional use for that matter)

Didn't say it was hard. To be clear...by saying "well enough," I mean that I don't have any major problems with it...I'm just no expert. I find that there are two many pointless "utilities" that only slow the machine down. Both of my last two (brand new) computers have had both Windows and Ubuntu installed before adding anything else. There's actually still nothing on the Windows partitions, but whenever I switch to it, it's like switching from a car to a bicycle. It's ridiculous how Windows can be so, so slow "right out of the box," while Ubuntu just works.

Windows is blazingly fast on any decently spec'd machine these days. Boot times of like 5 seconds. Everything loaded up after you login basically instantly.
