The Intel situation is unfortunate although not terribly surprising. You have to remember to keep things in perspective. There are lots of advantages to GNU/Linux overall that puts Microsoft Windows to shame besides being free. Not everything should be about hardware (I know I know, sort of

I think maybe I should go into some detail here because clearly you aren't seeing what I'm seeing. It's just an observation remember. If you look at the statistics it's something like 90% of computer users are infected. That's according the security industry. I'm not going to say this is
