That is the fallacy why you got my downvote. Last I looked, hide file extension is still the default in Windows 10, that is the #1 malware vector ... almost as if they did it on purpose ... then, of course, you have MS Office, Adobe Acrobat and Flash, IE, EDGE ... I could go on forever.

Linux and you're so much more safer, it is much cheaper, can have a familiar ui, always gets security updates regardless, an upgrade does not change the ui substantively if you do not want to ...
