For those who are wondering, yes, Wine is malware compatible so be careful about the EXEs you run!

There's a difference between exploits and malicious software (even though malicious software often makes use of exploits, it is different). I am willing to bet there is way way more malicious software written for Windows than Linux, simply because there's way more Windows users than Linux users and there's way more Windows software than Linux software.

Yeah that's true. But I say false sense of security because that's what happened to Apple back in the day and they got caught with their pants down lol
