My PC is hacked (lemmy.world)

I just received a call from an indian microsoft technician. He informed me that my PC is sending a ton of error messages to microsoft. Most likely it has been hacked, and he would help me by remoting in and fixing the problem for me. I just wonder... Is it my PopOs or my Manjaro PC that sends all this info to microsoft?

its a dangerous virus known as 'Linux' which can completely replace your precious Windows installation! be careful, there is a lot of propaganda pushing free (as in communism) software

I once looked at a Linux PC and I couldn't stop reading Karl Marx ever since.

Communism. You get it automatically from using Linux. Everybody knows that.

Once someone asked if somebody knows how to run this old game in a linux community.

The game was "capitalism lab". I said no, we are communists.

The guy then deleted his post.
