The opposite is true for my purposes... I run linux and then use virtualbox to run windows 10 for the only app i'm using windows for, which is QuickBooks. I gave up on closed source software decades ago. With Windows, every six months you have to reinstall your machine because of malware and of course the hour(s) of lost productivity per day compared to linux. Good luck with that.

- krylon 8y agoAt work, I have been using my laptop for ~3.5 years now, running Windows 7, without reinstalling once. If you take some care, don't just install any random piece of software you run across, only download software from trustworthy sources, etc., it is possible to keep a system free of malware. Just to be clear, at home, I run GNU/Linux, too. But it's not like catching a virus is inevitable fate on Windows.

Not sure where you're getting this from.
