That is nonsense. The difference is that on Linux, you get patch-notes and then can decide whether you have the exposure. The time that Linux was "sheltered" is long, long past.

It just has become more obvious. They were always a 3rd rated amateur-level shit-show. As complexity raises and attacker pressure increases, their sheer incapability becomes impossible to ignore.

By bricking them?

I expect that in the near future, we will get an "update" broken enough that only a reinstall will fix it.

Is the high effort the attackers invested. Seems things are heating up.

So you predict an even more immediate and catastrophic crash? Well, maybe.

Thank you. It is usually only 2-3 days per week, because I do not need to work 100%.

If you do a dumb comparison, sure. If you look at the benefits I have, it looks a bit different.

Mostly all aspects of IT security these days.

I guess we are seeing the start of the end of the hype. "Investors", dumb and clueless as they may be, are not freely pouring money into the bottomless pit that LLMs are anymore.

1. That would be illegal (Europe) and 2. I am paid from a table since as a lecturer, I am technically a public servant. (No complaints about the salary.)

And fail. This has nothing to do with expertise or education in an area. It has everything to do with how a person approaches a question.

No. There is a group, the "independent thinkers", that do not use this crap. They are small, admittedly, but they do exists. The usual estimate is 10...15% of the population and education seems to make no difference.

Do not make for good engineering. FOSS is no different.

You re not a teen. You are a killer. You just have not run into a situation where you will manifest that yet because you got lucky.
