Pirate and pay creators directly.

How does that even work?

My bad, used the wrong word there. I meant that Windows is very compatible with older versions and different flavors.

I think I'm cautious enough to not have the experience, luckily. But why does that matter? I'm still waiting from you for rationale why is Linux experiencing less infections. And you keep asking unimportant questions...

I would be surprised if Western countries aren't interested.

Servers are a different story. I'm both Windows and Linux user, meaning more towards the later recently. I'm still wondering why do you think Linux is more resistant to malware - besides the incompatibility (mentioned in other reply here). Your experience doesn't tell much about why and I wrote my theory.

Ha, yes, incompatibility is the secret defense of linux 🫣. But even without root access, malware can create a lot of damage.

You sure though? Windows has more viruses because it's more popular (desktop) and monolithic, not because Linux is much better in that regard. IOW Linux is not magically virus resistant. If you run an infected file, it will infect both without much trouble. Also removing infection would be similar. At least that's my understanding.

NFS lacks security unless it's NFSv4 paired with Kerberos AFAIK.

Allies? Because they won't attend Eurovision? Take that, Israel, right?
