1025

2024 is the Year of Linux on the Desktop, at least for my boyfriend. He's running Windows 7 right now, so I'll be switching him to Ubuntu in a few days. Ubuntu was chosen because Proton is officially supported in Ubuntu.

"I don't worry about missing security patches. I just have 5 anti-virus tools running simultaneously, they keep me safe."

Or those people who actively avoid patches in general, because "they make my device slow"

I mean, they do make your device slow. That why tools like InSpectre exists. For some old cpu's like my notebooks one it can be up to 20% performance impact, so if you not planning to use it with internet (or at least as main access point via browser) ever again, why not get yourself free performance?

And all of the anti-virus tools are 50 updates behind so they're essentially non-functional bloatware even moreso
