Thinking on switching to linux
(lemmy.sdf.org)
Approaching the end of window 10 and have no plans on upgrading to 11.
I am trying to find alternatives to applications I regularly use before jumping ship (it is mostly a gaming focused pc) any suggestions?
There’s oculus software for my vr but don’t know what I’m going to do with that
Small update: probably going to do Linux mint as that appears to be the most beginner friendly
Update two: that's a lot of comments, and Thanks for all the info
True for wayland, not true at all for x11
It's true for any variation of Linux. Hell, the vulnerability (Mimikatz) that was crucial in the most expensive cyber security attack in history is still there in Windows.
And for X11 to be exploited you would need to get and run malicious code in the first place. The Linux security model kicks in before you get to that point.
all you have to do is trick the user into installing something malicious, and running it.
then with x11 it can snoop on literally everything, sure, for a server linux is inherently more secure but as an end user i don't think it matters much.
