    @Markaos Well I have a dual boot system, Linux / Windows 10, and have for decades, other versions of Windows but dual boot none-the less. The old days before grub used to chain-load from the windows boot-loader (ick) but over those years I’ve probably had to reload windows owing to malware I could not excise at least once a year. I’ve never had to do this, ever, with Linux.

      this owes to the fact that windows simply has exponentially more users and is therefore more valuable to target.

        @zwekihoyy Yea I’ve heard that excuse but on the Internet there are infinitely more Linux servers and still Windows is more often compromised. I think it has more to do with thousands of eyes on the code submitting bug reports and fixes.
