I mean you are completely right. But I mean do you know people who have fun dying in dark souls?

Because you can make it in nixos you just have to be a masochist.

Please just use steam. No hassle there.

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.

Or was it non preserve. I never tried it though. I guess a vm should be fine to test it. On the other hand I don’t care enough.

Since you forgot to add - - preserve-root It won’t go too far. But at some point the system wants to load a file that is deleted and the kernel will panic. System crash. Delete incomplete. But rest assured, the important stuff is gone.

I am using an old laptop that gives me 3 minutes to run from one power plug to the other before just going out.

It isn’t.

However security software for Linux usually doesn’t operate in kernel level usually. And it doesn’t brick your bios.

That being said because of how Linux works it is much more possible to safe a bricked Linux machine than a Windows machine.
