What about Linux is easier than a similarly prepped windows device?
Unless it’s changed recently, windows you just need to press a button during load (like bios) to boot into safe mode. And from there you can reload a variety of “snapshots” to recover from most malware issues.
How is Linux easier than that, I don’t use Linux, but windows is incredibly simple already.
Mostly that the malware has a much higher chance of escaping containment on a Windows install, because it’s designed to attack Windows.
Do you not know what loading a recovery snap shot does? It doesn’t matter if it escapes. Whatever was new is removed since it’s restoring your harddrive to a previous state. It’s like a backup harddrive, without being external.
There’s ways for the malware to disable recovery mode, but I would assume the same could happen to Linux as well.
