You had to dare this one!
This is false, or at least inaccurate.
There are certainly free Linux distributions, but this is not the case for all of them (Red Hat Enterprise Linux for example).
It is above all a free and opensource system.
SO …
Again, yes, but.
I don’t know what exactly you mean by “perfectly fine”, but things that don’t work or problems can also exist on Linux.
What do you mean by that?
How does Windows “pox”?
Ah, speaking of pox:
Last week there was an attack on the AUR repository (community repository which is not active by default) linked to the Arch distribution…
Nearly 2,000 floors containing malware…
(possibly still in progress, not using Arch, I am not up to date on this matter)
https://www.linuxtricks.fr/news/10-logiciels-libres/605-atomic-arch-synthese-technique-sur-cette-compromission-d-arch-user-repository/
So, this is not due to a technical weakness per se of Linux (that being said, there are “privilege escalation” type flaws revealed recently), but to the particular management of packages considered obsolete on the AUR community repository.
Cyrano, no more than Enstein, said nothing at all.
We need to stop making up quotes.
The command line is far from being a daily requirement on a modern desktop Linux distribution aimed at the general public, such as Linux Mint (I have been using Mint LMDE on a daily basis for years on my laptop and there are few situations where I have to use the command line*).
And the command line, in the event of a problem (such as a system that no longer starts, booting from a USB key) is sometimes a necessary step even with Windows.
Another thing, I always find this disdain towards terminals (and command lines) a shame, because YES, it seems abstruse at first, yes, it can seem very complex, but when you make the effort to learn it (and if you have the time, the desire, etc.) it allows you to achieve things which sometimes have no equivalent in a graphical interface.
For me it is more of a (very useful) addition than an obligatory step.
There are also undrinkable tutorials with graphical interfaces.
This is obviously not the only point which explains the domination of Windows, but very clearly it is still a factor that we cannot remove (afterwards, as to knowing to what extent it plays a role, that is another question).
No.
An MS-Dos game will not run on modern 64-bit Windows.
No more than a natively compiled game for Linux either.
And… some Windows games that require Securom (or other protection systems) will not work on a modern 64-bit Windows system either.
In short, it’s never that simple.
