Rit's pretty trivial to write malware that replaces bitcoin wallet addresses in your clipboard
Abut isnt 2% chromebooks?
K3.5% of that is Steam Decks
Kprolly
Klol
Asteam survey says like half of gamers are steam decks
KNot in the Steam hardware survey
JAt least bazzite have a extra protection because root is read only
KChromebooks that run steam are very low %
C4% on Steam is still like 10 million people
Rit also helps that linux doesn't really bother with not breaking userland
ZThere were actual apps that stole crypto wallets in snap/flatpak if I remember correctly
COf monthly active users mind you
DI'm honestly looking at swapping my desktop over, but I've gotta get the rodecaster pro II working completely for my audio setup, which is going to be fun, lol
MIt does but the default user is not part of the sudo group
Rand getting into the kernel is kinda hard for malware unlike windows which has numerous exposed driver keys that viruses can just use
Ryeah, it's pretty trivial to go after bitcoin because 1) that community is dumb 2) they dont actually understand security and 3) they're really dumb
DI do dumb things like send the work laptop to capture cards, then use OBS to pull them into a single window I can deal with, with a rodecaster pro II for my audio interface to both systems
CChecked the Debian wiki, apparently not?
ZThat sounds messy
Rlike "DONT COPY PASTE SH COMMANDS FROM A BROWSER" advice only had to be posted literally everywhere after bitcoin took off because things got dumb really fast
Ei decided to switch to gnome, kde is freezing my panel all the time :dinobones:
Din principle it is, but once it's all set up and working, it's great....no switching inputs around to get the work laptop on my desktop's display...just open OBS and window project it back to my main desktop PC, lol
Rbut like, fundamentally, one of the things that makes windows particularly vulnerable to malware is the level of trust it has in userland
Rand, before windows 10/11, windows did a lot for you that could easily be hijacked
Rthat doesn't happen as much which is why viruses aren't a widespread thing
CSomething really cool Windows does now is some virtualization-based protection at the kernel level
Ryeah
CPlus Windows Defender sandboxing if you enable it
Rits probably heresy to say in a linux discord server... but windows 11 is actually really good here
KUuuhhh
Rin some ways it's better than linux in terms of security at that level
CSecurity is only as strong as the weakest link unfortunately
KGiven that I bought a PC with it a couple weeks ago, I can very much say it's horrible to USE
Rright
CWindows sitll comes with a bunch of low hanging fruit enabled
KHit search, get ads!
Kgg windows
ZTo use, sure
Rsure, im talking at a really low level that you'd never experience as just a user
CLike spreadsheet scripting and things like that
Kwhat is the difference between normal installation and asus laptop one
Rmicrosoft is doing some really interesting things at the virtualization level
Rthey have to, given that azure has become a profit center for them and running linux is cheaper at scale
Rbut people still want to do windows workloads
CRso... they gotta figure something out
CCool tool that disables some of those obscure low hanging fruits
Ewindows next move will be to turn windows into a linux distro /s
Rwindows is posix compatible lmao
