      Since it has malware abbreviated in its name I think it’s a joke

    Isn’t this basically the banana cultivation problem of computing? Linux has pretty good genetic diversity with mutations and speciation happening on the regular, MacOS doesn’t have that variety, but is a genetically engineered abomination that’s regularly gene-edited to patch problems out.

    As for Windows, I’d say it’s the Cavendish banana of operating systems.

      I just called Microsoft and their support line confirmed that they are, indeed, a banana.

    They should’ve distributed it as a flatpak, then it could automagically download its own dependencies /j

      Nah, most things people try to run work no problem.

      It sounds like trying to install dependencies for libraries for R on Linux. 🤮

    Reminds me of the joke that github should just hire malware developers to fix the install process of every random git repo that requires pages of install instructions and an entire book of troubleshooting

    That is a bit out of date. There are professional cyber crime groups now, doing very sophisticated malware.

      Yes. Sadly Linux viruses are doing well, today. I suppose it is a reflection of Linux’s success.

          Most Linux malware is aimed at servers, that’s where the money is, and where Linux has serious market share
