I totally understand where you’re coming from. It’s absolutely not uncommon to casually refer to high-rank NCOs as Officers (in Canada at least)

Do you mind answering why you feel this way about homeless people? You or I could be among them tomorrow for all we know, I would hope that someone wouldn’t feel that animosity towards me.
Yes and at the end of the day it’s all just binary getting dumped into a cache and processed by the CPU. The point is that the intent of the file matters and while they do both hold text, the intent, purpose, and handling of the kernel mode/ring 0 driver is much different than a “simple text file”
So different in fact, that as another user pointed out, it has happened to Linux too
Calling a kernel mode driver a “simple text file” sure is interesting
Not to jump at you in another comment thread, but any OS that is deployed in a business environment should have some form of endpoint protection installed unless it is fully airgapped + isolated.
Despite the myth that “Linux doesn’t get malware”, it absolutely does and should have protection installed. Even if the OS itself was immune to infection, any possible update can introduce a vulnerability to that.
Additionally, again, even if the OS (or kernel in the case of linux) couldn’t be infected or attacked, the packages or services installed can be attacked, infected, or otherwise messed with and should be protected.
I’m not sure if you intended to reply to me, but I am aware of this. Thanks for checking my understanding though :)
I see you’re operating on a plane of reality where windows is the only bad software, so it’s kinda pointless for me to continue here. I hope you have a wonderful day.
Y’know, I’m pretty deep in the FLOSS brainrot, but as someone who: A. Daily drives Fedora and Debian B. Works for an MSP and deals with Windows daily
Most companies cannot afford the productivity, monetary, or labour hour investment that is involved with changing to a whole new OS and re-training all of the workforce. Thats even if you ignore that switching to Linux generally also involves changing some percentage of programs that are used for business critical processes.
I love Linux, but it’s not meant for every situation
Is your point “Linux and Mac dont get viruses or targeted for cyberattacks”?
Or is it “This wouldn’t have broken on a different operating system”?
This was very much not caused by windows
He’s had some incorrect stances, but on average, Chomsky is extremely based, actually.
