I generally agree but the comparison can’t be made that directly in my opinion because the small userbase of desktop Linux alone helps a lot there and the addition of repositories and Flathub do so too!
True, but commercial Linux viruses exist. Plenty of IT professionals have invested their fuck-you-money into crypto so there’s a market for desktop Linux viruses out there these days.
Flatpak helps a lot, but it’s got its own troubles and escapes if you want to actually use programs. The secure configuration locks file access to a few specific directories so loads of Flatpak applications will ask for much broader access so you can still edit pictures that are stored on other drives or outside the default Pictures folder.
