Oh true, when you scream Linus’ name out in your bed, make sure you add an addendum of “no not that one he’s an asshole, I mean the Linus who isn’t an asshole”

So you agree, you do hate them more?

I do use arch btw.

Not worth the fight… people here will call even usage based telemetry (how many times did this feature get used) spyware.

This post is on ml, I figured that would be clear within maybe 10-15 seconds of opening the comment section of any thread regardless of topic 😜

Although I do think lemmy on the whole hates democrats more than republicans. Like the republicans are subhuman mole creatures who just need love to stop being evil while the democrats are soulless people who know what good is and think they’re good but they aren’t.

So they switched because they have control and access over both OSs?

As long as you have irrational levels of hate and vitriol for AI, windows, epic games, and democrats, you should be fine.

It also helps if you’ve named any of your sex toys things like “Linus” or “Gabe” and you regularly scream their names during orgasm but that’s optional.

Lot of people seem to be acting like none of this is true. Clearly we aren’t on the same parts of lemmy.

Bad Bois bad Bois, what you want, what you want, whatcha gonna do?

So it’s just the fear of vengeance that stops you from robbing, raping, and murdering?

Punishment as a deterrent? Lol what human race are you thinking of.

If you’re not looking to do much you might be better off with one of the immutable variants (silver blue, aurora, bazzite). The upside is things are not supposed to break too much. The downside is if it breaks almost any existing instructions on the internet prior to maybe 2022 will fuck the system up more. Tbh Linux changes so fast that’s true for most variants, but you can reach back to maybe 2018 before you start to hit system-breaking legacy instructions.

Mint isn’t a good choice, but if you want a generally straightforward system that looks like Mac (gnome) or windows (KDE) then fedora is a good choice.

None of these options will be as secure by default as a Mac or windows machine – you will have to do a lot of learning and be generally technically inclined to get there. The immutable OSs will give you a small leg up there, just because you’re running less random shit from the internet as admin/root, but the Linux community hates Intel and Microsoft so much it’s taken a lonnnngggg time to adopt standard security techniques, mostly resting on their laurels from decades past. Will you get viruses? Probably not. But just because nobody broke in doesn’t mean leaving your door unlocked is secure.
