Looking for 240 million Linux devices? Keep in mind, the total number of Linux users is currently around 33 million, excluding Android.
Many individuals prefer staying on the familiar platform rather than transitioning to Linux due to its complexity
I believed the world confirmed that W11's needs could be met using only a few clicks with Rufus. However, "Just Switch the Lid" isn't effective in all situations.
Consumer viruses persist despite fully updated systems. Check the troubleshooting section of this site for more examples. Most users of those 240 million devices wouldn’t stay safe long on an unpatched OS. Even careful users risk losing everything if an EOL OS is left online, especially XP, in 2023 or 2024. A single mistake—or none—can destroy your data and render the machine useless. There are countless unpatched zero-click or drive-by vulnerabilities still active on XP.
Even if your statements hold, the lines between business and personal spaces begin to overlap. Many of the platforms I use at work are also available on my computer and phone, making them equally exposed. Some users may be more at risk simply because they're less informed or share inaccurate details. Do you have any proof that security patches are mainly important for companies?
Additionally, many individuals—including myself—keep personal details on their devices, such as login credentials. If these are exposed, it could result in data leaks and malicious actors gaining access to emails. They might then send deceptive links to contacts, including those the victim knows, exploiting trust in the sender. This could lead to further breaches, as compromised accounts and machines become targets. A single oversight can escalate quickly, turning a minor error into significant consequences. People often underestimate the risks or believe they are safe, but even small mistakes can open the door to serious harm.
