I'm fully vaccinated too (and I'm typing this on a Purism 13, so your estimate is good so far ;) One of the reasons Windows started asserting more and more control over computers is that people are easily duped into doing the wrong thing. I totally agree that Windows was never designed for t'internet, and security was badly bolted on rather than being an integral part from the start. But even if it had been, most of the botnet exploits are social rather than technical. Linux is more secure than Windows, but it is not inherently more proof against social attacks than Windows. However the people who choose to run Linux are more proof against those attacks because we're more knowledgeable about computers, so there are few social attacks that work on Linux. I'm not victim-blaming. I'm saying some people do not understand the environment they are in or the dangers they face and their bad choices can negatively affect other people around them. Just like with vaccines, mandating some behaviour in this situation seems like a reasonable response.
