Nobody has ever claimed that Linux doesn't have malware.

I've seen it multiple times including today with a balance of 3 updoots on reddit.

So it's less about the operating system, and more about exploiting the programs running on the operating system.

Except noobs being very frequently recommended distros using old packages (Mint and even Ubuntu). -Then it is at least partly a problem with the operating system.

You really need to spend less time browsing new on r/linux for your own ragebait. Dumb claims like that are corrected almost immediately after posts get human engagement.
