How is Linux more secure compared to other operating systems?

1.	How is Linux more secure compared to other operating systems?
Answer» There are multiple reasons for this – Linux gives very low access to its USERS. If there is a virus attack, only a few files will be corrupted not the whole system. It is less vulnerable because a user needs complete EXECUTION rights for opening EVEN an email attachment. The working environment in Linux is segmented in different environments like Ubuntu, ARCH, Linux Mint, etc. This division gives much protection from the virus. Linux uses Iptables which requires advanced privileges to function.
