That isnt a great defense against malware “imho”. Security through assuming the threat actor is lazy is just not security. It doesnt take like any effort on their part to just use some off-the-shelf OS fingerprinting code. It isnt worth it either because it contributes to your overall fingerprint, since normal RFP users have a standardized useragent for Windows and Linux separately.
It really isnt any defense. All a website can do is initiate a download, websites are sandboxed by default. You still have to run the executable, which doesnt really apply to Linux because the file will have no executable permission.
Security is layers, i utilize apparmor and firejail personally. And in fact 90% of widespread malware specifically relies on lazy people. Often targets default passwords etc

Nobody said it was a great defense.

Buddy, it’s not that deep.
