Wrong

Older packages than Debian. *edit note: evangelism = ban

Controlled opposition as usual. I made a website ‘Alex Jones Exposed’. -Was at the top of search results for 2 months and did very well. Next thing I know its buried by all these fluff pieces.

Wouldn’t an android phone be a better choice? Wouldn’t an older air-gapped Windows version be a better choice? Wouldn’t using a Library computer be a better choice? Wouldn’t a type-writer be a better choice? Wouldn’t going out and making some money for something better be a better choice?

The ‘sink twice’ performs 3 functions in one which is contrary to Unix philosophy (that would have a urinal, toilet, and sink separate) making Unix philosophy look stupid / bloated.

ItS nOt LiNuX fAuLt! - Yeah, the rest of the world is just moving to fast for them.

It’s not about storage space, it’s about maintaining two programs that do the same thing. With modern computers built for Windows 11 and not minimal spec, ram should be plentiful and cheap to add if needed. Any computer with tpm2 it shouldn’t matter with unless the build was bad to begin with.

Is there something you need it for that notepad and word can’t cover?

“internet explorer” -listed as the first one. -Linux fans love their out-dated tech.

Look for ‘sink twice’

Linux Almost KILLED MY SSD…(youtube)

“Matthew says with about 20 lines of code on Windows, you can cause the same havoc. He points out that mounting EFI variables as read-only could break some user-space applications and isn’t the solution to the problem.”

When you tack on what it needs to be a desktop OS, you’re tacking on vulnerabilities. Take a point release distro like Debian, and you end up with more out of date packages which adds to vulnerabilities. Also, a web search will reveal decades old issues with Linux used as a server. -It’s not bulletproof, we just don’t hear about it like we don’t hear about Linux much IRL, and it’s something evangelists like to suppress.

On reddit, it will eventually break the user experience. (page loading times / errors). Does this site handle the database differently?

If it’s not your cup of tea, you can mute it.

It’s no joke. Linus users trash talk Windows and call it spyware. Meanwhile Firefox (most common default web browser for Linux) has a lot of telemetry, Google as default search engine, and Google as it’s financier. (In addition to Android being Linux according to some).

I’m not against telemetry, just the hypocricy.

People argue that slavery is a choice.

Yes, and that’s the FUNNY part about it! Lennart went against the UNIX philosophy and is hated for it, but so did Linus Torvalds with the monolithic kernel, and Richard Stallman with Emacs.

OP seemed kinda harsh on devs considering ‘free’, but we’re also talking about something set up as opposition that isn’t really fair competition in a capitalist market. -Rather it kills real competition. Communism fails due to no incentive.
