I meant it in the sense of using an obscure operating system to be less likely to be targeted by a threat actor.

Viruses already exist for Linux and have for a long time. They are less prevalent than Windows but this obviously shouldn’t be the primary defense strategy for your device.

…security by obscurity? Guess when Linux finally explodes in popularity, you’ll see me over on FreeBSD instead

Sky News being least biased with high factual and credibility??? And the mods are surprised when we users keep protesting and downvoting this damn bot.

I had to do a double take between this comment and the one by @davidgro@lemmy.world
