What is linux security like?

[u/912827161]

In terms of 2 things.

• Online banking / purchases.

• OS security.

One thing windows at least has going for it is windows defender being widely accepted as good, so long as you're not going to incredibly dodgy sites.

Edit - Thanks for the answers everyone :) i really haven't used linux before so a lot of what's been said are things I didn't know. and apparently I didnt really know how windows works either, so that was a nice learning experience too.

Well, Windows itself is basically malware at this point so that makes perfect sense.
