  • I think the kernel is more secure due to the philosophy of not invading users space.

    And the experience of installing software on Linux and on windows is like day and night. On windows you can install since Windows 10 via the appstore. However you don’t want to do that since most programs are in there with less features. For example vlc the windows app store app has only basic functionality and is really not worth it.

    So on windows you install some random exe from the Internet. You usually Google that and click the first link. This will send you to the fake website vlc.de for example. Then you install it and get free maleware with it. You have to watch out if the website is the correct one.

    On Linux you go apt install vlc or you Google how to install and get the command. Or you open the software manager and get the vlc app that is definitely the official one.







  • Using the same password (no matter how secure it is) for all accounts is a bad idea.

    Assuming you have at least 20 accounts with sensible data, and you don’t even remember that 5 of them exist.

    Now shittywebsite.xy gets hacked and all data is unencrypted and unhashed.

    So now your.email@adress.com with yourSecu4ePassPhrase is leaked.

    You now quickly try to change the password on 15 accounts with the same email and password. But you forgot the 5 accounts you made years ago. Now after some time hackers login into the the old accounts and get your credit card info or whatever.

    Great idea!

    Yes my password manager is a single point of failure, but it is one I personally control and have the view over.
