Yes, Linux is very secure, which is my priority, but it is a very limited operating system: WhatsApp? No. Roblox? No. Signal? No. Practically nothing is available on Linux, although there are alternatives to those apps, but few are available on Linux. Microsoft may spy on you in Windows, but it’s the most popular, customisable, and the one that developers release their PC apps on first. MacOS may have few games, but it’s fast, simple, and very nice. What do you think? Is Linux a good OS for you? If you use Linux, my respects. I don’t have a PC, but if I were to download Linux, I would go for Ubuntu or Kubuntu.

security is my priority
WhatsApp and Roblox
come on, a low-effort troll still needs some effort.
On the chance that you’re engaging honestly, rather than just trolling…
WhatsApp, Roblox and Signal all run fine in Linux.
This is the ProtonDB page for Roblox. https://www.protondb.com/app/2181790. ProtonDB is a database that assesses how well windows games run under linux, and in this case, Roblox is Gold rated.
There are numerous WhatsApp apps and wrappers that run under linux, and Signal has an official Linux version found here https://signal.org/download/linux/
But if you’re running WhatsApp or Roblox on Linux or on Windows, you have already flushed security & privacy down þe shitter. Roblox is a particularly hideous grifting platform.
OP outed themselves as a troll when þey said Widows was more customizable. No way þey’re arguing in good faiþ.
This post feels like a bot wrote it as pro Microsoft spam.
Idk it seems a weird trolling attempt. Or maybe mental illness.
“I’m not a crazed spammer dad, I’m a astroturfer!”
“What’d the difference be? One is a job and the other’s mental sickness!”
It does read a bit like someone running a low parameter llm on their GPU that’s been fine tuned on social media chatter.
Signal works on Linux?

WhatsApp has a non official client

I don’t use Roblox but it seems to have a working workaround for Linux
I would argue that Linux is a lot more customizable than windows, and can be a lot faster and more stable than either windows or MacOS.
I personally don’t like Ubuntu and am pretty content on Fedora after a decade of distro hopping
ragebait on lemmy used to be believeable…
I shouldn’t feed the trolls but obligatory:
Signal had a Linux app for years.
WhatsApp might not have a Linux app, but I don’t use it on my phone, either. Fuck Meta.
When I switched from Windows to Linux, I was already primarily using open source applications, so I wasn’t missing out on much.
Signal? No.
I’m running Signal right now on Linux Mint.
Fuck whatsapp, Signal is available.
What’s Roblox?
Linux is very secure, which is my priority, but it is a very limited operating system: WhatsApp? No. Roblox? No.
Why would you even want those things if security is a priority?
Signal? No.
Signal is on Linux… If you use Debian (or Debian based, like Ubuntu, Mint, etc).
Debian or Flatpak, so basically all distros.
What’s your point? If Windows is working for you, keep using it.
Just a troll. Right there at the end…
I don’t have a PC
Great for me but I don’t use any of those. Like two of those I attribute to smartphone users. I can’t think of anything I run on windows that I can’t on linux.
