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?

Where does that idea come from that you have to be a programmer to use Linux? Is it because it’s sometimes faster to type a command? That’s not programming. It’s the same way that it’s faster to type your text that to get a voice recognition program to input it correctly.

Idk I just get the vibe that it’s a “programmers OS” I’m sure that I’m wrong, especially after looking more into it but that outsider opinion isn’t unwarranted IMO especially after looking at something like Arch

There are a lot more programmers running Windows than Linux though. :)

There’s like… 1/10 the amount of people on Linux as a whole

It kind of depends where you look.

Home desktop users, sure. Servers… Unless you have a really good reason, running a Windows server is a weird idea nowadays.
