Why you should be using Linux while moving coins on MM etc, and why it isn't as hard as it seems

Most people here seem to keep on using windows while transacting in crypto, making their hot wallets vulnerable for all types of hacks. Now, I understand why people don't like using Linux: it is seen as the OS for teckies and nerds who like to write a hundred lines of code just to open a browser.

Well, sometimes that's the case, but Linux can be as easy to use as windows when you choose the right distribution. Linux may seem hard to use because its users like to portray themselves as kings of technlogy who can hack NASA with their terminal (even in movies Linux is glorified), but that's just like the herd mentality we have in crypto (we tend to look down on those who have less btc than we do, or those who know nothing about crypto).

First of all, you need to understand that hacking Linux is much harder than hacking windows, and to simplify it, you could say that viruses actually can't exist in Linux. This doesn't mean that linux can't get hacked though, it can, but usually when its user runs compromised pieces of code in the terminal.

Second, not all linux distributions are made for nerds, some like Ubuntu for example are so easy to learn and use. All you need to do is to learn the basic commands to update your system and "upgrade it" (you'll learn what that means later on). There are websites like linuxjourney that help you learn commands in a gamified way.

Finally, I get that most of you have work programs to use or want to play games, which makes windows more convinient, but you can learn how to dual-boot your system(as in install windows and linux on the same machine), or buy a cheap pc just to run linux on it (even an old laptop worth 100$ can run it smoothly). Alongside the extra protection, you get to customize your system to your liking( check out r/unixporn) and you are protecting your privacy from the windows trackers.

Let me know if you have any questions(I use arch btw!)
