Why Linux is more secure compared to Windows ?

Linux :

Linux is an opensource operating system and all of it is driven by community of developers and even the users of Linux are mostly developers and are tech-enthusiast who loves to have deep knowledge about the operating system they want.

Windows:

It's an operating system developed by Microsoft and it is mainly used by vast variety of home users and office users who just use the operating system to just complete their task.Also, Windows is not an opensource operating system.

Why Linux is safe compared to Windows ?

The answer is already given the introduction but the question arises why opensource is safe when compared to closed source system ? Because opensource technologies have no restrictions on the user regarding any type of work they can do whatever they want in their os but on the other-hand on closed-source os you are vendor locked by the manufacturer and you cannot make any prior changes in it.
As far as operating system share Windows lead with the highest margin and that's the reason most of the viruses are developed for Windows and most Windows PC's are hacked because of its huge user-base.
Linux users are little bit techie and they always search for problems in their machine and that's the reason most of the time Linux remain safe.

Then Linux is Safe ?

At some level it is secure but it can be unsafe as day by day the users of Linux are increasing but one thing is unique for Linux is it's users who have good knowledge about the operating system and this makes it secure.

This is my take on Linux Security

Why AMD systems are good for Linux ?

AMD , INTEL , NVIDIA are the three manufactures of the computer world were NVIDIA and AMD also makes gpu for the systems for high performance gaming and rendering work. Their hardware is used by laptop vendors and are also used for PC build.These days most of users opt for Windows for gaming and other kind of stuffs and most of us usually sticks for NVIDIA gpu for better performance compared to AMD. Most of the time when we install Linux on a windows machine we may sometime get stuck with driver issues in the system and this makes overall experience worst compared to windows installed in your machine.But vendors like AMD has good opensource driver support which support all kind configuration out of the box so the experience remain quite similar as on windows. But when it comes to NVIDIA it sucks because its opensource drivers are not that stable when compared to AMD as per my experience. NVIDIA drivers can be easily installed on UBUNTU based systems but on Solus and Fedora

Why android phone updates sucks:Ft.Budget phones...

What is android ?

Smartphone vendors like GOOGLE , SAMSUNG , LG , XIAOMI , REALME , OPPO , VIVO , ONEPLUS etc customize the operating system on the way they want and they provide updates in the way they want. How do android get update ? Every year a new version of android is released by GOOGLE and then the manufacturer gets its hands-on on and then they start to release the update for their devices depending on the hardware capabilities they provide the update and sometimes they just don't provide the update and only gives the security updates to the user and that is quite sad and that's how android phones receives their update. And now why sometimes
