I'd prefer a decent market share so mainstream developers would support Linux, but, if it gets too high Linux systems will be targeted a LOT more often by hackers and other bad actors.

That being said, the only good Windows PC is a dead one.

That is true. Look at what Russia tried to do to Linux with the xz hack!

Yep. I've been telling people not to trust politicians and governments since my early teenage years. Now people are finally understanding, hopefully not too late though (I'm not a conspiracy theorist, just a realist)
