This spyware's common name is Windows 10 but people of high culture call it NSAos. This software disguises itself as an operating system but ask yourself this; who is operating who?!!! :think-about-it: Ads, forced updates, bloatware and the fucking data collection!! You aren't in the driver seat, this spyware is doing the driving!

Today is your lucky day though as I come with good news :meow-fiesta: there is a free open-source and privacy respecting operating system called Linux. This Linux thing is the backbone of the whole internet and Android is based on it.

You can do everything on Linux; from using Firefox or Spotify to playing your games... there is even a Linux program called WINE which allows you to run quite a lot of Windows games and programs as if they were native to Linux

With Linux, you are in full control, you doing the driving yourself, comrade!! So come to the penguins' side :penguin-dance: and reject the evil corporation.

I suggest you check out the Linux distribution Kubuntu... Manjaro KDE for those feeling a bit brave.

This post is for you to share your concerns about Linux with us or why you are hesitant. If you are a Linux user then tell us about how lovely it's been.

PS: any negative comments about Linux will result in a ban, the mods are onboard with this :)

Edit: and join us at !libre for everything open source.

Edit: on Linux, you get all your software from one place and you can easily update them from there.

Like, Linux is fine whatever, but the way you're presenting it is cringe.

Ads, forced updates, bloatware, and the fucking data collection

Literally all of these can be disabled or removed with about the same level of knowledge and effort needed to run Linux. Hell, my copy of Windows (Education edition) didn't even come with ads or bloatware.

Is that a joke? If not that's pretty dumb, we can't criticize an OS?
