#23 How to protect yourself from Steam viruses in TF2 General Discussion
fatswimdudeperfect_numberAloSecsteam hardware survey, 95.49% of all steam users use Windows, while just 1.13% use linux. if I were to code a virus, I would know which OS I'd target.
Definitely a valid point, I never disagreed. I was referring more to viruses in general. But lets not turn this thread into a holy war.
I would say that steam has a fairly high percentage of linux users compared to most other demographics. So I doubt there is any other circumstance where it would be cost-effective to make a Linux virus, regardless of the difficulty.

Well, to be fair unix-like OSs hold a very significant market share in webservers, big data, etc; so a successful linux virus could do a lot of damage. But earlier I was trying to make the point that these would not be targeted with simple phishing attempts.

Anyhoo, what does it matter if desktop linux has security by obscurity? Sure a systems engineer may scoff, but the fact remains that my linux box is much less likely to get a virus than my windows one. Besides, It was just a joke - what have we done?

Linux users: Edit /etc/hosts instead. Done.

Except .scr viruses wouldn't work on linux

<3 I know, but I never claimed that there were no viruses - even though linux isn't perfect, the privilege system is better than the alternatives. Besides, the reason we don't have a lot of malware isn't because we're insignificant, but because our users are savvy enough to avoid 90% of what other users may fall for.that's an interesting viewpoint that's very self serving... according to Valve's steam hardware survey, 95.49% of all steam users use Windows, while just 1.13% use linux. if I were to code a virus, I would know which OS I'd target.

PlatypusPapaSmurf323You can get steam working on arch if you download the 32bit binaries.
https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/steamHe'd need to run Windows for the ESEA client, not for Steam+TF2 :p

yep, I tinkered with running TF2 in wine but it takes a performance hit and the esea client doesn't seem to like it. Currently runnning tf2 natively

#1 NA Roamer LFT low open in Recruitment (looking for team)

My usual username is mersenne, after mersenne primes - primes of the form 2^n-1 where n is also prime. I'm also an archlinux user - I'm going to have to make a windows partition to play. Is that interesting?

lame usernames aside, I consider myself a silver+ roamer looking for a low open team to learn with.

As a player I think my biggest weakpoint is probably my comms, I'm doing frequent pugs to remedy this however. As a roamer, I probably need to work on my mids and ammo management. I hope that by the end of the season I'll be a lot more comfortable with my opening bombs on mids and to have good coordination with the scouts.

I'm essentially free everyday after 6:30 PST, I play a lot more TF2 than your average 2nd year I think.

Experience
DSGL - Hacks, Roamer
HL open - HS Mafia, engie
UGC steel - Squid S., engie, Soldier
UGC silv. - niknaks, sub roamer
UGC gold. - dix^, soldier
Pubbing erryday since '13
I used to lobby before I joined steel, 60-ish lobbies
Recently got into tf2mix, I usually do at least one everyday
Playing newbie pugs for a couple months now.

Also looking for a mentor to do demo reviews and stuff, so hit me up even if I'm too trash for you <3
