I think it's because the general public would expect a big company to come and fix it, like Microsoft. They feel safe because it's a well known OS that everyone uses. So it can't be unsafe, right? Right?

With Linux you're fucked if you have no computer knowledge, like most people. That's the general thinking.

I dont think a non-tech savvy person would be fucked, I think it would deffenatly be harder to use but UX in linux has been getting steadily better.
