I agree. A lot of profits wouldn’t be cash saved, for one taxes that you aren’t losing to multinational corporations headquartered in Ireland or Cyprus.
Cybersecurity costs would also likely go down due to most malware being exploited isn’t targeting desktop Linux.
About the malware thing. Won’t the Linux use increasing in organizations give incentive for attackers to make malwares targeting linux? It’s not like we’re malware free, it’s just that average user is informed enough and there is low use of linux making it not worth as much to target desktop users.

Sure. For a while tho, it would be easier to avoid sweeping ransomware incidents.
Which is going to change once any sort of widespread adoption happens.
But at least in my circles, malware really isn’t that big of a deal in security. Phishing is where the danger is these days, where the costs occur.
