why use linux when you are in the world of cryptocurrencies as your computer's operating system


Hello and greetings to all, I have a series of ideas that I want to share with you.
according to my experience with the use of operating systems such as unix, windows 
and linux> the safest system at the moment against any type of intrusion in your system is linux


and what are the reasons for this to be that way

first, the large percentage of malware that affects systems containing cryptocurrency wallet information
 are designed to use windows dll, as a starting point to attack systems also there are a series of programs
 made with java and python called scripts used for such purposes



it is important to note that windows viruses do not affect linux in any way

These programs use known vulnerabilities and also those that have not been published
 which make easy prey to the systems they attack

The secret to protect yourself from such attacks is the use of open software on your system 
since the source code is always reviewed by the community of Linux users and developers.
The development of open source software, like crypto wallets, is crucial to generate security, 
integrity and  trust in the blockchain net. The  programs for the best crypto wallets are created 
with open source software. Open source software is created and produced with a  community effort in mind
 and  is  shared and published so anyone can review the code.  No one company or individual
 that creates or owns them. One big example  is the creation of the  Bitcoin itself. Bitcoin is open source,
 no one controls Bitcoin, the design is public, and everyone can check it

Open source wallets allow users to have complete control of their coins. they can be of the multi-sig
 type that supports multiple separate wallets within the same application. they also allow you to
 create a backup copy for the wallet, which is one of the least discussed aspects of wallets> how to 
recover one in case of failure.

and I'm going to mention some of the secrets of the linux system so that you can make your own
 decision about which system to use on your personal computer.

The first thing is that the linux kernel is very small compared to other systems>
 it includes all the security mechanisms and much more too

The system is based on text> that is, everything is text> when configuring something 
a text file is created with all the characteristics and properties of,
 for example, a system driver> but to modify said information from another system
 it is practically impossible if your system It is very well protected with strong passwords
 In addition, the file system uses a hierarchical file protection mechanism that only
 allows modifying files if you are the legitimate owner of it.

for linux everything is a file



Another feature is its jornal file system> which is capable of recovering any information 
in the event of a system failure, for example a power failure.



Another very important feature is the use of tools that allow you to see the processes 
and users that are using your system in real time.

other tools that are at your disposal are the firewall and intrusion detection systems
 which are very easy to use



I hope these little ideas are useful for you
