Microsoft upgrades Defender to lock down Linux gear for its own good

Linux finally getting the much needed Microsoft touch.

The funny thing is that it doesn't work when you're running an immutable file system based OS like Fedora Silverblue or Kinoite.

It's just security theater that is utterly meaningless.
