quality is "conformance to requirements".
When i first installed Linux, my top requirement was "free". Ability to develop sophisticated graphical websites wasn't on the list.
Having had the odd malware problem, not to mention once being hoaxed into stuffing up my PC, I'm comforted by Linux's reputation for security.
I keep tabs on developments, but the experts tell me that the way a typical end-user Linux system is set up, I'm close to bullet proof. (BTW /home directory encryption is an pain, and a software bug in my version of something means that if I need to use swap disk I've got some actual command line operating to do).
The one thing that was concerning me was that when I did a graceful closedown, with no active windows, I was still using the equivalent of 25% of a powerful CPU. Since I've installed ad-blocker, pages load more quickly and 2 seconds after closing the browser, everything is quiet. |
