    Linux is not safer than any other OS.

    Apache web servers were, are, and will continue to be common thanks to their cheapness and ease of configuration. And malware (particularly and most recently coinminers) have been a plague on Apache for at least the last few years.

    “Nobody’s come after my bespoke Linux kernel” is just preaching security-through-obscurity. Which - hey - if you’re running a Mint box to host videos on Jellyfin, sure. The absolute worst case scenario is being forced to re-download 1000 hours of tv/movies/music you forgot you even had. But if you’re doing any kind of business application or - god forbid - enterprise level application development, you might as well post a “Kick Me” sign on your admin’s back as tell your team that Linux is virus-proof.

      If you are a Halo fan or have ever played Halo reach. The only thing I can imagine is the slip space rupture detected scene except for every time instead of slip space. It’s Yara heuristic detected. https://youtu.be/Q_4i-yOUmXY
