MX Linux Forum

Microsoft wants to use our computers to help their beloved Windows from getting infected, and also there's their feared embrace, extend & extinguish thingy Micro$oft likes to do!

*giggle* Every time I read about the fear mongering they are wanting to annihilate us texts going around I have to laugh.

If they really wanted to do that they would have done so a LOOOONG time ago

Well, they did finance the SCO lawsuit if I recall correctly. So, they tried and failed I guess you could say.

People also laughed saying the Titanic wouldn't sink, look what happened to it! All this sudden love Microsoft professes for linux makes me feel uneasy!

I still call "tin foil hat".


I use both happily next to each other. There is a big deal being made where there is none. But sure, we'll agree to disagree. I prefer to spend my worry energy on more important things than an OS.

I can't see MS Defender being forced on Linux, as if it's going to be included in every distro and can't be removed without breaking the system, or something.

Every since I started looking at Linux I've seen predictions of its looming death for various reasons. I predict that if I'm still around 20 years from now I'll still be reading predictions of its impending doom.

It's not my biggest worry.
