> Due to Microsoft Windows' dominance in desktop operating systems, Windows is the platform most targetted by spyware, viruses, and ransomware.
Consider linux dominance on end-users devices through android and embedded systems like smart tv's. There are more instances of linux running and being used right now by end-users than windows. UNIX legacy and a long maturation process on HPC and servers probably has to do with how linux systems evolved to be so secure today compared to windows; also because of "bad-habits" windows historically brings.
It may sound cheesy and although I'd like to see linux more used on the desktop, I'm pretty happy with the current situation.
