what’s your thoughts on Linux and Windows…

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Linux is a family of open source Unix-like operating systems based on the Linux kernel, an operating system kernel first released on September 17, 1991 by Linus Torvalds. Linux is typically packaged in a Linux distribution (or distro for short).
Distributions include the Linux kernel and supporting system software and libraries, many of which are provided by the GNU Project. Many Linux distributions use the word "Linux" in their name, but the Free Software Foundation uses the name GNU/Linux to emphasize the importance of GNU software, causing some controversy.

“Provides more security than windows”
This is the only one I seriously doubt.
Ms defender is actually something I wish we had a replacement for.
Read only root fs is a start, but it doesn’t protect my documents.
Like your linux doesn’t get hacked because no one cares, if we become a target we are helpless more or less.
And there are still people who will downvote you for saying that Linux distros are not impregnable fortresses of OS security
Really? Almost all of it is wrong.
Linux can be secured on much deeper levels than windows, by default yes it lacks antivirus but its also much less necessary given the software distribution model of Linux vs windows. But ClamAV is a decent antivirus that I use on my Linux server. Never felt the need for one on my workstation/laptop
