but calling windows shit is unfair. shit can still help plants grow. this is the kind of stuff you lock away in a mine forever and put a sign in front that says this is not a place of honor.
@lritter Yes, this works like that for everything in life.
However it is also the problem. Criminals go for popular things because they go after people using them. Lesser interest to make viruses and exploits goes together with lesser interest to make software, drivers, hardware… Heck, I remember days when a lot of popular websites didn’t work too well with anything except Internet Explorer - and it was real security nightmare at the same time with very real zero click exploits.

Yeah, looks like this is what it will take because nothing else works (or everything else is much worse that no amount of enshitification offsets it).
@shuro security-wise, being the less popular one has its advantages.
