Stability does seem to improve quite a bit

Something else that I learned was that apparently Ubuntu users have no real need for any antivirus! Thought that was interesting coming from Windows.
So by saying that you mean there is no viruses for linux? Linux is as much vulnerable as windows. I would even say that windows as a platform is even safer.

It's not about which platform is more secured, but rather which target is more lucrative to hackers. Most peoples use windows so most hackers make windows virus & malware, that's why linux plateforms are rather safe.

There is a 1000% less chance to catch a virus on linux, it's even stupid to say that windows is safer since most of the apps you need on Linux are downloaded from their main sources. The effort it takes for hackers to attack a linux based pc is far from worth it.

It's safer because is far far less used, but it's not safer software wise.

80% of worlds servers runs Linux, maybe even more than 80%, so you mean Linux is not worth attacking?

The same applies to windows, you download all apps from their main sources, and if you don't hope you understand that it's your fault, that you got virus and not windows? New linux users blyndly installing everything with simple copy paste from guides on google, without even knowing what means what, and from what repositories they downloading anything, they don't even watch what repositories they add, because they don't even understand it.

That's not even remotely true.
Yeah? And why it's not true?
 
I will have to disagree with that. Slackware is very alive, and it is the purest distro out there.
Last update to Slackware was on 2016-07-01, that doesn't look very alive my friend.
 
used ubuntu long time ago, now running centos on servers, and using opensuse on my work machine.
 
No.
Just dont want use it.
I'm using Debian instead Ubuntu
 
Not currently. But really enjoyed my previous experience with it. Very user friendly making it good for Linux newbies. Looks decent and runs most software without any tinkering.
 
i was thinking of grabbing ubuntu for virtualbox instead of getting a virus looking for windows. what are your thoughts?
 
cool for somereason I dont why I think ubuntu sets off red flags for our field account creation , posting etc
 
hell no ... that os is suck
so do you think ubuntu sets off red flags? account creation , posts etc... I was saying getting one of those cracked copy of windows to install can get your machine a virus and I dont feel like fooling around with that
