OK?
I said "took some ideas" like the FAT32 filesystem, owned by Microsoft, for example.
They both took from Xerox PARC, yes. I'm not sure what your point is.
You're clueless. He's been the lead maintainer for it's entire existence. To short change him because other people work on it as well is silly. It's hard to say it's a ripoff of UNIX. It's just as different from every other UNIX as they are from each other.
Maybe if you only use a web browser it's pretty secure, but in that case so are Windows and OSX. If you actually use your computer to run other software though, there are plenty of attack vectors for Linux. Most Linux machines are not desktop machines, they run some other software to make them useful. However I was responding to the other guy who said it included anti-virus and anti-malware software, which it generally does not.
I can't even figure out your point here. I said GNU software was written by many other people. Yes some of them were associated with all sorts of other OSes. What's your point?
Famous last words. Sure, there's little chance if you're just running a web browser, just like every other OS. Android uses the Linux kernel and it's constantly being patched for exploits. Again, I'm not sure what point you're making, I didn't say you couldn't GET antivirus software, just that it doesn't come with any distro I'm aware of, which is what I was saying to the other guy.
