Most Linux malware/viruses target corporate servers.

It's not that there isn't Linux malware or viruses, there's plenty.

It's rather that you and me as individuals just aren't that important nor do we likely have enough assets to justify us as a target to begin with.

Corporate servers are more likely to have a large combination of technologies that allow hackers to infilatrate to begin with, whereas the average home user might not have many programs installed, especially not a large number that need network access and thus complex access control rules.

Also there is a lot less focus on targeting GUI components for social engineering. Most Linux systems are headless

2. Be civil
  • Understand the difference between a joke and an insult.
  • Do not harrass or attack members of the community for any reason.
  • Leave remarks of "peasantry" to the PCMR community. If you dislike an OS/service/application, attack the thing you dislike, not the individuals who use it. Some people may not have a choice.
  • Bigotry will not be tolerated.
  • These rules are somewhat loosened when the subject is a public figure. Still, do not attack their person or incite harrassment.
  • 3. Post Linux-related content
  • Including Unix and BSD.
  • Non-Linux content is acceptable as long as it makes a reference to Linux. For example, the poorly made mockery of sudo in Windows.
  • No porn. Even if you watch it on a Linux machine.
  • 4. No recent reposts
  • Everybody uses Arch btw, can't quit Vim, and wants to interject for a moment. You can stop now.

  • Please report posts and comments that break these rules!
