Linux is not good.

Let me just begin by the common myth that Linux is secure. It is not, in fact it is even worse than windows. All you need to break an entire system with a virus, is root access, "hey but a root password is very secure!" I hear you shout. Actually from my experience, most youtubers recommend that you DO NOT SET A ROOT PASSWORD, so guess what happens, you download a package which you thought was secure, but uh-oh it was not. You now given "sudo" (adminastrative) properties to a virus, because you did not set a root password and your entire system bricks, or your details get stolen, whoops! And even if you did actually have a root password, the "application" will tell you that it needs "sudo privallages" to run, so you enter your password, and virus does its things.

Worser still whenever you download a package you give it sudo privalleges to install anyways, so your system is screwed again, don't believe that you give packages sudo privallages when you install them? Here look at this code "sudo apt-get install _package_" or "sudo dpkg -i *deb _package_", as you can see it says "SUDO" so now you've given the viruses sudo privallages willinglingly.

Worser with security is the lack of anti-virus support, because everyone has thumbs stuck up their ass and thinks that no virus shall harm them, because "Linux is unpopular". You won't have your malwarebytes, or your avasts, or your Bitfenders, what you will get is some antivirus from an unsecure website, or you will get clamav, which detects every file as a virus, so there is no point using it.

Now you want to get software, but even that is bad, because depending on what distro you use, you are either going to get a package that is horribly out of date, or you are going to get an unstable package that might freeze your computer, check the don't break debian post. Worser is the fact that you cannot have two of the same package because they are going to conflict with each other.

So now you want to get the most recent version of your software so you learn how to compile a package, you get all of your package's dependencies, then you write the magical lines: "./configure, make, make install", and what happens? Well the good news, you have the most recent version, hooray! But what's this? when I type "sudo apt-get uninstall _package_" nothing happens... well that's because you compiled it, and now you have to manually delete every single file, of that compiled software, to get the next update, or simply delete the compiled software because you have no use for it anymore. "But can't you use checkinstall instead of make install, or something like that", no because that doesn't work all the time.

Ok let's look for MS office then... Wait where is it? Where is MS office? Well to put it bluntly Linux is scared of companies, because, "they steal your data". Woah scary. You know what they do with your data? Say you search up blue car on google, yes? Well Google takes that result, and sells it to a car company, so the next advert you get, is of a car, that you can buy. Woah they really did steal your data, didn't they?

Okay fine, I'll look for another company. Well chances are you are not really going to find it, because as mentioned, Linux hates companies, and if you will it is going to be hated, because "it steals your data".

The community, oh God the community, you best not swap back to Windows, because God forbid, there was "another distrubution" you could have used, or MS is going to "steal your data". Or, beg that you are not a *BSD user, because you'll be absoloutly crucified. Let's be honest, *BSD is far better than Linux, and is much simpler. And can't forget how everyone, NEVER uses actual software, and uses open source software instead.

Also did you guys know that the BSD license is way more permissive than GNU GPL, which is what Linux uses. Look it up, you'll be interested.

Finally, Linus, Linux creator, why did you flip off the Nvidia office? Come on man you are not 14!
