There’s a myth that "Big Tech" is more secure because they are big. In reality, their complexity is their weakness. Open-source tools are transparent—thousands of eyes can see the code, meaning vulnerabilities are found and fixed by the community, not hidden by a corporate PR department. Simple, local, and secure.

@craiglambie42 Hi Craig, I hear somewhere what windows is safer than Linux because it easier attack an opensource OS than windows defender, what do you think?

@Nahmarcas @craiglambie42 What does Windows Defender have to do with it? Are you comparing Linux Security against Windows security or are you comparing Linux security to Windows Defender?

@aproposnix @Nahmarcas I think open source software is harder to hack than windows based software. Defender is pretty poor at stopping most hacks.
To be honest, hacking is mostly on the web now... So defender or similar don't stop people from falling for scams, Phishing sites and similar. A good vpn, password app and some smarts around recognising these things are best protection.
