Whoops.
Looks like there's no reason to use Linux anymore.

I don't like Winblows either, but I was surprised to see Debian and the Linux Kernel as the top 2 on this list: cvedetails.com

Wake up call
“Linux malware may introduce new challenges for the security community that we have not yet seen in other platforms,” Intezer researcher Ignacio Sanmillan wrote in Wednesday’s post. “The fact that this malware manages to stay under the radar should be a wake up call for the security industry to allocate greater efforts or resources to detect these threats.”
Some of the code appears to be borrowed from Mirai, the Internet-of-things botnet malware whose source code became publicly available in 2016. Other code has similarities to other established projects or malware including the Azazel rootkit, the ChinaZ Elknot implant, and the recently discovered Linux variant of Winnti, a family of malware that previously had been seen targeting only Windows.
Fast forward a few years from now and you nerds are going to be running garbage FOSS anti-virus software on Linux. Good god it's the beginning of a shoah.

the kernel has grown too big and bloated. GNU Hurd is needed desperately, or just a new kernel in general to go with the GNU operating system.

why have the spent a literal quarter-century not getting anywhere with it then? Other than the fact that microkernels were a meme more suited to generating academic papers than to accomplishing real-world tasks.

This is the fate of unfunded software.

If you run suspicious bash scripts you got from your Chinese fren you deserve it.
