I tried using mint and had a horrible time. I never tried pop OS, maybe next time I have the heart to try linux again I'll go with that, or whatever the equivalent flavour of the month will be at that time.

You can use docker swarm (or a better container orchestrator) to have the containers automatically fail over to the second host

Or the one I got a lot: "why did you chose that distro? You need to be using [completely different distro each time]"

I wanna use Linux, but last time I tried I had so many issues that it made it almost impossible to be productive. There are so many possible variations of a setup that trying to find answers either resulted in incorrect or just downright combative responses

Phone Link can be used for that? When I set it up all it gave me was texts and notifications that only worked half the time. I found it quite disappointing.

You're missing my point, a virus doesn't have to infiltrate a completely secure system. It can come through you accidentally leaving your ssh insecure or any other service.

No but it can't do that on Windows either, all it can do is detect an infection and attempt to remove it. Same process would be applicable on Linux.

Okay if we are taking the definition of a virus to be something that a person must download and execute, what about malicious javascript/python packages? They often target production systems running Linux and infection is caused by user error rather than misconfiguration.

True, but the largest botnet in the world runs purely on Linux devices

Zero days aren't the only way you get viruses. Misconfiguration and social engineering are both vectors that are OS agnostic.

It's configured to allow requests from connections using common default passwords. If it wasn't a honeypot the requests would succeed. I don't currently run an rdp honeypot but I did a few years back, iirc the rates were about the same with rdp being a little bit less. Which as I say, comes down to configuration and usage. If you misconfigure Linux you will get malware, same as Windows.
