      Why Linux is not fully safe:

      Misconfiguration → If you use weak passwords, leave SSH open, or run everything as root, hackers can get in.

      Exploits → New vulnerabilities are discovered regularly (kernel, software packages, web servers).

      Social engineering → Hackers may trick you into installing malicious software or running bad commands.

      Targeted attacks → If you’re running a server (like websites, databases, etc.), attackers will try to break in.

      Outdated software → Old Linux distributions without updates are very unsafe.
