Windows has a lot more security than Linux (which lags). Every time Windows comes out with a new technology like secure boot, Linux users will scoff and down-play it until they catch up. And this happens with more than just security.
Also, Linux has way too many toolkits. If you want all the best apps; you need to add many whole toolkits which dramatically change the footprint. All new icons, dependencies, fonts, etc. Initial installs make a great first impression, and the rest is blamed on ‘your fault’, ‘pebkac’, ‘skill issue’. -Because it’s a religion.
I would love it if LiGNUts could use a search engine. -But nah, they’ll wait hours and lean on others for an answer they could obtain in seconds. “cite your source” -Is the internet not at your fingertips?
Compared to what?
You cannot honestly argue that Linux has better security. It’s not even a priority of Torvalds and he gets angry about too much security infringing on userspace. Everyone also knows BSD is more secure by default. We’re also talking just the kernel with Linux. Add all the ‘hobby’ type garbage that comes with DEs and you’re no longer using a kernel as your propaganda. Windows has improved vastly since the 90s when people just played mild pranks and no one was banking online.
I use a debloated Win11 image for the situations I can’t get around it. Still much more resource intensive than Linux, but it’s something.

Your brain lags
I would love it if you back your claim “windows has lot more security than linux” with facts and evidence.

You never learned how arguments work, huh? Here, let me help you.
Oh, so you know how to source something and still refuse to back your claim that Linux is more secure.
Windows security has alwaya been laughably bad, and usually just a scam to try to make it harder for users to use other operating systems.
