The post if overall very naive and while I do agree with using Linux for IT work he doesn’t give the best point either.

First of all, the customization. A lot of Linux users LOVE to point this out but 1. it isn’t for everyone 2. it won’t be compatible with every softwares. While modern Linux OS’s tend to be well tailored for devs due to most the work being command bases and having version control, it will not work out for everyone either as for a lot people it won’t be convenient. Most users just want an out of the box and ready to use OS rather than a never ending mess of fixing and customizing stuff.

Second, and the most stupid thing from this post, is that Linux will never have any malwares due to it being “well secured”. The reason why linux malwares aren’t viral is because about 3% of people using a computer in the world use linux, even less for work considering that a lot of these people use SteamOS for playing games. Other than that, Linux is a kernel, It runs code. So on this basis Linux is as vulnerable as windows. And considering the biggest attack vector isn’t some fancy exploits but someone sitting on chair in front of his computer, you can guess that Linux isn’t out of risk of any cyber attacks.
