All of that, and they act as if Linux doesn't even exist.

I opened an issue for that. Please give it a +1 and let's get Linux on the list of platforms. https://github.com/brianlovin/security-checklist/issues/40 https://github.com/brianlovin/security-checklist/issues/40

  > often used as a desktop in countries where people cannot afford Windows or macOS often used by people in preference to other operating systems due to a variety of reasons Linux being available free of cost is certainly one of the least relevant features for me.

    Negotiating / psychology 101: give a reason, any reason, for why you need something done. Feel free to add a comment to the issue request about why Linux is important to you personally.

      I meant my comment to provoke you into rethinking before you speak for others again in the future.

        Except I didn't do anything like that. Show me where I claimed to give an exhaustive list of what motivates people to use Linux. I gave one reason why some people use Linux. That I thought might motivate the author of the project. Besides that, it's a friggin issue on github, not an essay on why people use Linux. Get over yourself.

    I've paid to have CentOS installed over the "free" (included) Windows OS on business machines. Dell also sells Ubuntu desktops and laptops that cost more than their Windows equivalents. The cost difference is presumably because the Ubuntu machines do not include the crapware bloat that comes with Windows, such as antivirus trial subscriptions.

    And already on the live site. Impressive. I've already changed a few things on my Ubuntu laptop thanks to your checklist. I'm going to pass this around to friends and family.
