For those who are wondering, yes, Wine is malware compatible so be careful about the EXEs you run! https://wiki.winehq.org/FAQ#Is_Wine_malware-compatible.3F [https://wiki.winehq.org/FAQ#Is_Wine_malware-compatible.3F]

I just got a real bad malware on my windows PC and I’m legit considering using Linux as a response. What’s the best into to someone who isn’t a programmer but understands computers relatively well enough?
Try a few different distros. People often recommend Mint for a beginner. I use Fedora personally, I also like Debian, it’s stable but a bit boring and can be outdated. You can also creat a bootable live USB and try before you install!
Tbh, I consider “a bit boring” a pretty good feature for an OS. “Exciting” usually means dozens of hours to fix simple things.
LTS releases get more and more attractive with age.
That is very trueˆˆ
