My old Lenova Laptop died. The Hardly Normal techo saleperson got upset with me and walked off. I must be a hard customer. So all you techo wizards out there some questions….

(1) Can a Android phone get malware or not, when you go Internet banking, I told him it is near impossible for viruses to harm an Android phone….and it you bothered to make a malware virus it could not do much for the attacker, on a unix based system with secure banking? Am I write, or is my techo salesman right?

(2) Windows 11 S version (simplified version) cannot and will not allow executable file packages to unpack on your C drive? Wow, why bother having a computer like this? All it does is surf the Internet with it’s pre installed software…. He said something like it run things slowly if your tied?? I do not run game packages, so I get the speed issue if your a modern geek on gaming…but I use my machine for doing Paint, NotePad and I also run FTP Cute software to upload txt files. I also use a Flash app to run fla video

@mckinley@twtxt.net Thanks bro, Just one query…I thought the unix systems such as Android phones are cannot get a virus, how would you write one when there is no root directory and all the file locations are virtual?

Another query how difficult is it to learn UBantu this is a system that doesn’t get viruses? One would save on the software?

Your’e very helpful, so can I fit Linux Mint on a Flash drive stick, and install it that way?

On another question, my Apacche does not like WIndows 11 naming the root directory as windows-SSD ©
How do I rename the dictionary as ordinary C:\ drive?

@portlandbeer@neotxt.dk I’ve been trying to convince him to use Linux for years 😆

@portlandbeer@neotxt.dk Do you have a link to his off grid, would love to see….

@off_grid_living@twtxt.net He’s talking about you I think 😆
