Again, you mention Linux.  I do not use it.  How is it relevant to my comment?<p>And then there&#x27;s this mythical &quot;average user&quot;.  But what does that have to do with me and my own solutions?<p>I know only one user: myself.  I know what works for me.  I live in a tty.  Do I need a Windows GUI?  No.<p>Finally, I also know that what one can do, another can do. But that is their decision and I am not trying to convince anyone to do what I do.<p>Windows is a massive, complex truckload of legacy source code that keeps growing with every edition; it has a lot of flaws and the number grows every year; it is not &quot;open source&quot; in the sense of public source code respositories and enabling users to compile from source.  This is not opinion.  It&#x27;s fact.  These facts do contribute to the state of Windows &quot;security&quot;.  Bravo for fixing flaws in recent years.  But no points for having them to begin with: poor quality control.
