Researchers believe the shift to Linux malware is due to improvements in Windows endpoint security. As a result, threat actors are exploring new attack avenues, increasingly focusing on exploiting flaws in internet-facing systems, most of which run on Linux.

I don‘t get the reasoning here… these servers ran Linux before so what has that to do with Windows endpoints?

Idk about the endpoints, but this seems to be targeting desktops and not servers, as those don't have KDE.
