For those who are wondering, yes, Wine is malware compatible so be careful about the EXEs you run!

You really don't think Linux has viruses? I'm confused by this post. Is it an excuse to shit on wine and windows?

They're super rare. I've not gotten one once in decades, whereas I've encountered countless viruses on Windows. Linux is more secure, but also it's just a smaller target. Best way to avoid viruses is to use an OS nobody else wants to use *taps head

So the most secure possible option is TempleOS? Suck it, Apple!
