      Of course not, it was because I really liked this girl, and she used Linux too.

        lmao, this is unironically the reason one of my exs stared using Linux. Because I kept hyping it up so he figured it was a good bonding activity to learn it. To my knowledge he still uses it.

            Then allow me to introduce myself.
            Not that I’m a Linux pro, but I at least know how to copy and paste terminal commands until I fix whatever problem I caused by copying and pasting terminal commands.

              Will you marry me 😊?

              /s I’m already married, just said it for the joke 😂… not happily though, so there’s always a chance 🤣🤣🤣.

                I’ve learned the dumb way going for married people is always a bad idea regardless of the status of the marriage, so I must politely decline.
                I’m an Ubuntu user anyway, so I’m unfortunately unfit for marriage in the first place.

                  Lol 🤣, this is why you are, you’re funny 😂.

                  Seriously though, I completely agree with you. I was just kidding anyway, that is completely my problem to have and/or solve, don’t need to drag others with me.

      I mean, if OP is going to the type of websites that have that significant of a risk of hacking him, he’s pretty deep into the depravity.

      That’s… quite the dedication. I personally just never downloaded things or ran random executables from porn sites, but hey… who am I to judge, I guess

        There’s always a risk of JavaScript breaking out of the sandbox and crap like that. Browser vendors do their best to protect against things like that but security is often a trade-off for speed and people like fast software, not to mention browsers are huge and complex and they’re going to have vulnerabilities. A browser’s whole job is to execute remote untrusted code, do you trust it that much to be flawless?

        … I mean, I don’t but I use it anyway so ¯⁠\⁠_⁠(⁠ツ⁠)⁠_⁠/⁠¯

          I mean, yeah, sure. But at this point, if that’s really a worry, one should not trust any sandbox. OSes are huge and complex and will have vulnerabilities too. Hell, there could be a xz level backdoor currently in the wild and nobody knows any better lol

            Right, that’s where OP comes in - most malware will be made for Windows, so if you visit such a malicious website, it’ll likely be inert under Linux!

            … I’m not saying this is a great reason to use Linux, but there’s at least a little bit of merit to it.
