A classic anti Linux Troll that could have been written in Redmond. It's understandably why you would post that anonymously. 'power-user operating system', you're taking nonsence. Straight out of the box, you get browsing, email, work processing and media player and that would have to be Ubuntu.

I agree, Hollywood should stop making movies pitched at six to twelve year old. Just how low do you have to pitch it that a talking CGI midget racoon is the best thing about a movie.
@Sycraft-fu: "It is a story not so much because this can be done, but because there is a solution to it and has been for 3 years, AV vendors just aren't implementing it. There's additional hardening they could take to mitigate this, they just aren't."
Do you have a link to this three year old solution for the Double Agent zero-day attack, that the vendors aren't implementing, that the vendors are still working on a solution to?

Here's Bob Muglia while at Microsoft describing how to 'add additional semantics' to Outlook, that is perform a detailed analysis of Lotus Notes and then clone it into Outlook.

I've been using Ubuntu since at least 12.04 and am currently on 16.04 on low spec hardware and can honestly say I haven't noticed any problems in general or with systemd, booting, suspend, resume and shutdown are all quite acceptable quick.

All my systems are staying on 14.04 until close to its EOL, in April 2019, giving me 2 more years to find a non-systemd alternative to Ubuntu.. I'd rather stay with a Debian-derived OS, but its looking like I may be going back to my Linux "roots", that being Slackware, where I started with Linux in 1994"..
