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

To be fair, I haven't gotten a windows virus in at least 25 years either...

Getting a virus takes real effort. I feel like the whole virus debate is just 2000s hangover, and people never update their shit talking points.

What is actually a threat are scams. Seniors being called, lied to and forced to compromise themselves. Those are the real viruses of 2023. And obviously 99% of seniors are on Windows.

yeah when you use your brain you don't get viruses it better than any anti virus software
