So i just received information from my company staff , that one of main IT computer got his files encrypted.
>Pic unrelated , no pics of his pc actually i was in a vacation.
I know we can't do anything about it (nothing was lost actually it was just a test pc)
Should i really move to linux and i don't know shit about it
>currently using 8.1 just to match old files with my work and latest games
Well, a good starting point for windows users is Linux Mint Cinnamon 18.

>test pc infected
>go to linux
How new to the helpdesk are you, son? LARPing as a sysadmin, are we?
Negro, if a "test" box got infected, that means that your test network is. You probably don't even have a test network, just a windows box that is named
>1234_test
Your whole network is fucked. And guess what it's not your problem.
Don't go for "bonus points" for being on vacation either. No one cares.
how big is this thing?
i live in a linux bubble so can someone tell me if something big enough to make normies realize that computers are important things is happening

How good is it for match Java scrtp files , flash files , and viewing pdf to a scanner machine ?
>>61112419
I'm not sure about javascript files but I know flash files, and bringing pdf files to a scanner work fine.

As normai as i am , our test pc has its own network connection (I've should said that before)
Hell if i give a a shit about them i get paid to set on my ass
all our files and control we do through teamviewer

ubuntu and mint are probably the best linux distros for windows refugees
No need to jump ship to linux just because of one ransomeware incident. Of course if you want to, then go right ahead.
