Windows Defender is enough, if you harden it

Yup, I also hate this in the Linux world. Debian Bullseye? Ubuntu Focal? WTF? Ubuntu 20.04LTS thank you very much please cease and desist with the "cute" names that force me to consult a chart every time I encounter them.

iPhone 10, Galaxy S7, RX470, such product names are significantly easier to keep track of.

Debian, Ubuntu, and Android names are all alphabetical, so you can tell which versions are newer and older. That's all version numbers are really useful for anyways.

Just checked. Android and Ubuntu, yes. TIL. Debian I don't think so though? It goes Jessie(8), Stretch(9), Buster(10), Bullseye(11). Many other examples of non-alphabetical products exist.

Regardless, numbers are easier to work with, easier to remember, and it's immediately apparent what's going on with them. "debootstrap focal target" is more difficult to remember than a hypothetical "debootstrap ubuntu 20.04 target" would be. In practice I have to consult a chart almost every time.

Debian is definitely not alphabetical

So, Impish Indri vs. Intrepid Ibex - which one is newer? ;)

Version numbers can also tell you the date of the release.
