      lemme guess: you know we are right and can’t stand that you don’t have a good response?

        You don’t know the circumstances of other people. Maybe there is something they need to do and it doesn’t work on Linux or they don’t want to spend time to work it out. Is Linux better for a lot of things? Absolutely. Is it better for all things?. No.

          Its not about being better, its about privacy and freedom. Without Opensource and Linux that were defended by people that understood the impact and importance of freedom in the past, we wouldn’t be today were we are now.

          Look at PC and Smartphones. Compare WhatsApp protocol to SMTP. Heck, imagine TCP/IP would have been invented and supported by microaoft only. Internet wouldn’t exist.

            I don’t have unlimited time and I hate tinkering with my PC. So I just run stuff that’s easier to run in Linux on Linux and stuff that’s easier to run on Windows on Windows. I get that philosophy and for some people who don’t mind tinkering it’s fantastic, but it’s not for me and people need to get of their high horse and accept that.

          I know and i still don’t care. All the crapton privacy violations and vendor lockin we all have to deal with are a direct cause of the unwillingness of these people to value their own and others privacy.

          That has a bad impact on me and many others. Thats way worse than sometimes beeing reminded that you are using a system that perpetuates these problems because you are lazy.

          People line that are fucking all of us over with their carelessness but cry out loud if someone dares to suggest to try a system that doesn’t want to steal all our data and rip us off?!

        Because they don’t listen to reason and their solution for everything isn’t to fix the problems with other OS’s, it’s to switch to Linux. And they’re… Smarmy about it.
