Dumb loonixers spread obvious misinformation about the inherently better security of closed-source operating systems.

U can't reverse engineer software or analyze an os with ai if u don't have access to the code u dumbasses.

Why open-source software is less secure in the age of AI

Hackers can use state of the art AI tools to trivially find security holes in open source oses like loonix at the kernel level. They can't do that with closed source proprietary operating systems like windows though cuz there's no code to feed into the AI, so vulnerability hunting is much harder and time consuming and therefore the os is more secure.

What is Linux? Is it a kernel, while distributions are the operating systems built around the Linux kernel? Some people say that Linux is the kernel and that distributions are the complete operating systems, while others generally refer to Linux as an operating system. So, what exactly is Linux?

Is it better to dual boot or use WSL?

​

I'm an incoming CSE(Computer Science and Engineering) undergrad and I want to get Linux on my laptop mainly because I want to do low level stuff and heard that Linux is great for that(also I have a ThinkPad so it feels obligatory to install Linux)

I'll mainly use it to run C programs and stuff like that so I wanted to know which one is better.

I have a single 512GB SSD so I am a bit concerned about like file sharing between the two

Sorry if this is trivial I don't know much about this OS
