    if it’s a partnership with microsoft, imo it’s an awful idea… to me it reads as:

    everyone knows linux is secure AF… way more secure than windows in many contexts, so it sets you up in the “wait this is BS” mindset

    the logical next step that you make, imo, is that the argument that closed source is more secure than open source in other contexts should be viewed with similar scepticism: office/libreoffice, onedrive/nextcloud, etc

    (which is true: closed source software is often far more insecure than open source software)

      I don’t think everyone now anything about Linux, most people don’t know about computers in general.

      This is to me most likely targeted at those (alias Anna) how know someone (alias Bob) how knows about this (or similar). Bob tells Anna to install Linux because Windows 10 EOL, Anna says “no Linux bad because reasons, plz install Windows”, or some such.
