Oof guy if you ever have to use the phrase “I…rely on facts and logic” with a passive aggressive smilie on the end you’ve already lost. I don’t even think there was an argument, but you still lost.

Sure in 10 years

Why is what you’re saying about Linux any different from what I’m saying about windows? Once you get to network it’s straightforward and a non issue.

To get to a working state you’re very likely to be fine. They’re all using Intel wifi and some elan touchpad, so the basics work well enough to bootstrap up to your vendors website.

For this hypothetical activity most people never think about doing.

Lol “the main computer market is iffy”

If you’re willing to put up with the low security options provided by default and don’t have a weird laptop, maybe.

Oh I just did that

Only if you refuse to put forth the same effort into fixing windows as you do with Linux. Not wanting to learn doesn’t mean it’s not learnable.

But did you try (the distro I personally prefer)? I’ve tried 500 distros and that one is the one that actually worked for me.

Signal: over a decade of leaking nothing and providing a great service for free, with some weird hiccups along the way like cryptocurrency.

Privacy “advocates”: fuck signal

Does using fedora help manipulate teenage girls into eating disorders or is that an unrelated team?

People still install antivirus? It’s not 2005 anymore.

Hey you can’t just assume someone on a pro-linux rant on Lemmy is a man…

Jk

You want to use Linux and yet you don’t know what a newline character is?

You can, depending on which precise bar is meant.

I mean it’s source available, but sure I guess

I was on your side until this message.

Zen seems to have picked up a lot of privacy improvements but it’s a pretty small team doing a lot of ambitious work. I like it, but it’s got a lot of (minor, mostly aesthetic) bugs.

I use mullvad for stuff I really don’t want a record of (for as much as that’s possible)

On the chrome side, Vivaldi (former opera before they sold out to china) is a good browser, but even more ambitious and even more buggy than zen. It has a built in email client. Like, who does that?
