Exactly my point, actually. It’s not that it’s harder to make malware for Linux, but as a desktop OS, there’s just a really small demand for it at this point in time. I don’t doubt that when and if Linux gets more mainstream (again, for the desktop) more malware will be produced for it, we’re actually already seeing an increase in malware.
But we’re also seeing a big change in package distribution for Desktop Linux, mainly with flatpak and more specifically flathub. We’re kind of leaving behind our baby stage and becoming more professional and secure when it comes to how software is distributed for our users.
I’m excited to see how our community grows and develops and how we handle challenges that only bigger operating systems have had to deal with.
