    Linux servers are, and I specifically called that out. The types of attacks you use against a server are very different than attacks against a desktop. Most desktops don’t run web servers, and most servers don’t run discord or web browsers.

    So linux desktops should see a lot fewer attacks than servers because the value of successfully attacking them is much lower. As that changes, so will the amount of malware targeting linux desktops.
