I disagree with most of this. Linux is only "more secure" because it has lower market share and hackers can't be bothered to write malware for it. That said, Android phones are Linux-based and there is constantly malware for them, and recent articles for the past year or two are showing that Windows malware is being…

I made an account just now just to say that I think this is really dumb. Bitdefender protects Linux by way of the business endpoint solutions (i.e., GravityZone). Honestly considering changing to using that since the prices are fairly similar depending on your license needs. What kills me is that Bitdefender makes the…
