[β] PlutoParty@programming.dev 1 point 3 years ago (1 child) Which part are you saying isn't true? permalink fedilink source parent hideshow 2 child comments replies: [β] matter@lemmy.world 6 points 3 years ago* (1 child) That the lack of Linux viruses is mostly/specifically due to lower user base. It's probably a factor but I don't think it's the primary reason. permalink fedilink source parent hideshow 2 child comments replies: [β] Tekchip@lemmy.world -2 points 3 years ago (1 child) Did you read the thread you just replied to? Most of the internet, hundreds of millions (probably trillions but I'm being conservative) of servers, all run Linux. Linux is a minority on desktop computers, yes, but it's a majority of computers on the planet. For every one or two computers an individual might have there are a multitude of servers (that's not just base servers but all the virtual servers, docker containers, IOT, and mobile devices). 10's of these per person if not hundreds. All linux. Your argument that it's a smaller user base is patently false. You're using linux right now and don't even know it. permalink fedilink source parent hideshow 2 child comments replies: [β] PlutoParty@programming.dev 7 points 3 years ago (1 child) Pretty sure that is what they are saying. They are the one who initially said that in this thread. I read them saying lower user base as meaning a lower desktop user base, which you acknowledge. Or maybe you're responding to the wrong person. permalink fedilink source parent hideshow 2 child comments replies: [β] Tekchip@lemmy.world 3 points 3 years ago I see your point. I did not catch the proper context given your comment prior. That's my bad. Thanks for pointing that out and being gentle with me. Disregard my comment. Going to leave it in case someone who does think that way happens upon it. permalink fedilink source parent
