Disgusting.
First of all, the nvidia drivers off the official site refuse to install no matter what. Then when I apply fixes from the internet, the control panel doesn't save my changes.
Password prompts always jump out even though I added super privileges in a text file.
Code::blocks refuses to save settings, either.

Lol this isnt windows buddy, linux comes with all the drivers already in the kernel, theres no need to go to the site to download them
>>some times later the machine is locked with randomware
Careful, some of the ransomware strains can infect your whole network.

Wow what a big number, also concerning very specialised machines. The only indication this gives is that Linux is not intended for desktop use.
Seriously how can I trust whomever slapped together everything to keep it up-to-date?
the newest proprietary drivers are in the repo of any decent distro, can't speak to whatever you are using though

this
kernel has support for nouveau or nvidia drivers as a base. package managers can simply update anything else.

You didn't install an antivirus first.
I called my mom a brainlet for installing avast on her new laptop.
Is malwarebytes the best option?
