Linux is a 100% more controlled system.So, my good friend finally convinced me to give Linux a try.
Question: Is it safe? Can it be hacked?
install gentooLinux Mint for the win for me.
I remember this one time? at band camp?
Wait, I mean I bought a windows machine, went on a site and boom virus, machine go dead. Never had a problem before or after with Linux.
I suppose if all you do is facebook, gmail, youtube and the like it doesn't matter, but if you tend to go walkabouts in the internet linux is the way to go.
Linux is the kernel: the software that directly interacts with the hardware, and it supports nearly all hardware. Its much smaller than windows when compared and it can be compiled for embedded systems too to fit almost any purpose.Just to add to the thread, Linux is used by majority of the Banks and Insurance companies - that was my understanding - not sure if that is still the case but when I heard this - you know its gotta be super secure.
