@hyde too an extent yes, but once again, if you give root access to malware because you don’t know any better, well you’re kind of just as screwed. If linux is to become more mainstream and be a daily driver of the average user, this could be a common scenario
@hyde running sketchy files on linux can be just as dangerous as windows. Linux’s strength comes from it’s trusted ecosystem of repositories and mainly open source programs which are easily auditable.
@Ivyymmy The whole point of that site is to distribute viruses, so if you didn’t get one consider yourself lucky. You should run windows defender, malwarebytes and norton power eraser just to be sure
It make sense, but reddit also gave mods tools to go private. They gave mods the power to mod their sub as they pleased until they didn’t like it. A “no, not like that” scenario
