Of course, maybe I am being too hard on people by expecting everyone to put more thought into everything they make a decision for. But it is in fact the lack of thought that tends to cause problems in all areas we see nowadays.
But that’s a topic for somewhere else.

We can simply go by “Linux is more bulletproof than Windows”; instead of calling it “safe”, which would also be wrong.
Also with, “Windows will shoot you with intent, Linux might just get some stray shrapnel.”
