This'll be my last response, as a Linux vs. Windows fight isn't that interesting.

Just the installed Windows Defender. No Norton, no McAfee. I used to like Avast. But Windows no longer needs it.

I don't use any of that on my Linux computers.

Again, it is because so few people use Linux, so nobody bothers to target it. There is Linux Malware.

Me, I'm running my desktop on a 10+ year old CPU (15 years maybe?) and have 4Gb of installed memory. And it still runs rings around many Windows systems running on hardware an order of magnitude better and 10x the cost.

I have an old potato laptop that I run Fedora on. It works. But I wouldn't dream of saying it runs rings around any of my old Windows PCs.

I'm not sure where you got the idea that Windows is more robust than Linux.

I already mentioned: everything runs on Windows.

...there are some great Linux programs (Libre Office, Calibre, etc.), they tend to be ported over to Windows. But there are plenty of Windows programs (K4PC for instance, many computer games) that are not ported to Linux and are finicky to get working with WINE.

To use a thread-related example: If you want to run K4PC 1.17 and you are running modern Windows, you're golden.
If you are on a Mac running modern firmware, you're out of luck.
If you're on Linux, you might be able to get it running if you have a degree.
Of the three OSes, two will require you to own an actual Kindle to back up your books.
That's what I mean when I say Windows is more robust.
