That Minix-based embedded operating system that Intel CPUs all have is a huge attack surface that can be attacked by anyone capable of sending network packets to the machine, it cannot be protected by the operating system’s firewall, the public cannot audit its code, and it doesn’t receive security updates if your motherboard is more than a few years old. Quite frankly, I find it terrifying and refuse to buy Intel because of it.
That you own your PC
I’m gonna guess you’re a Windows user :D
Not exactly :P
You may not be a Linux user, but everyone is a Minix user!
Only if your CPU is Intel.
