So all those high and mighty words about security, which is, by the way, often overrated, means nothing at all for the common grunt.

It is a generalized modern trend.

Even Ubuntu 24.10 does not seem brilliant and generates a discouragement in my decision,that of choosing the least worst OS that will be available in October 2025.

Note that despite everything Mrkvonic ( (I have known him since 2013 by this Nick Name) installed Windows 11 on his PC:

I technically have not tried Win11.  We don't even use it here at work and work is always the first to make sure they have the latest-and-greatest "in the name of security".

My most recent experience with Linux was just a month or two ago - Linux Mint 18.1 32-bit xfce on an Acer Aspire One.

Not a good benchmark though.  That Acer Aspire One is a *POS* with XP, a *POS* with Win2k, and a *POS* with Linux Mint xfce.

I'm very close to configuring a Linux-based CALCULATOR APP and remove the entire keyboard sans numpad and just turn the *POS* into a CALCULATOR and not an "operating system".

The Explorer experience is the worst. I am still not used to it. I use the context menu a lot and they took the things like cut, copy and paste off the menu and replaced those functions with small icons. So now I just use the keyboard shortcuts instead of the menu.

Security today, should be based on preventing stealer-malwares.

So a good configuration of browsers + increased protection against phishing would be essential.

Configuration that should mitigate any damage produced by the weakest link in the chain,humans using PCs.
