From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Linux is a family of open source Unix-like operating systems based on the Linux kernel, an operating system kernel first released on September 17, 1991 by Linus Torvalds. Linux is typically packaged in a Linux distribution (or distro for short).
Distributions include the Linux kernel and supporting system software and libraries, many of which are provided by the GNU Project. Many Linux distributions use the word "Linux" in their name, but the Free Software Foundation uses the name GNU/Linux to emphasize the importance of GNU software, causing some controversy.

no. no reason to expand poor practices into linux because microsoft fucked up. we need 'least access required' methodology even at home because the world is full of bad actors.
if microsoft had correclty implemented security into dos/winx.x we wouldnt have had half the virus issues we did in the late 90s.
i think the other half was caused by activex
I don't think the security issues with windows stem from not having the user enter their password a bunch of times.
