    Well, malware devs should just ship as a docker container.

    version: '3.9'
    
    services:
      ransomware:
        image: totally-legit/malware:latest
        container_name: scary_encryption_bot
        restart: always
        volumes:
          - path_to_your_sensitive_files:/data

    Very relatable. Half the solutions I find online are for distros that do things slightly different that whatever I’m using.

      Just use Nixos.

      It does things so differently almost no tutorial from any other distro works.

      Ah glorious Nixos

        learning Nixos is like undergoing a lengthy, tortuous hazing ritual in exchange for mastery of certain powerful blood magicks.

        I bear the lambda snowflake on my arm, a sigil remnant of those dark months.

    Me, in 2020: “Security through obscurity doesn’t work. You need a real sophisticated solution to secure your systems against modern digital infections.”

    Me, in 2025: “I don’t fuck with Mint. If it’s too easy for me to install, there’s a chance someone in Moldova has hacked it.”

      Unfortunately most of the time even running maleware in wine is not able to infect your system. It is possible but the market rather tends towards focusing Windows operating systems and flaws. But the rise of Steam Decks and Proton will most certainly bring people writing maleware which will try to detect if it is run in a wine environment and switch behavior. Just as there is maleware detecting if it runs in a VM and tries to escape.
