Absolutely agreed. I use an Apple laptop for work, myself, because it’s a company machine and the only manufacturer that consistently offers support contracts on a unix-like OS. I do most of my work on a Linux VM via the terminal so, it’s largely a glorified SSH terminal.
Windows now has WSL built in but the base OS is just too fundamentally understand and update QA too poor for me to want to touch, beyond the fact that I’ve been using Linux as my main OS for over a decade and the ads.
Please post an update with your experience, if you’re so-inclined. I really want to see more “real” use of Linux in AV, especially, as I feel it’s a very strong OS for such use that is mostly ignored.
