Welp, there goes Linux as a replacement for Win 7 Pro for my PC.

Probably better than Bill Gates, and it’s definitely better than an OS by Apple and a million times better than an OS by google. It’s the least of many evils.

Just a small point, Microsoft owns Windows. Have any idea how deep pocketed and biased Microsoft and Microsoft employees are against Trump? To try and find a “conservative” OS in the tech world is impossible. So both are liberal but one is still indeed better and a less threat than the other. Just a thought to ponder MS is a much much bigger anti-Trump organization.

If this is the C Wood I happen to know personally, I will find out how best he can be helped with this situation. Trust me, I am all over Linux foundation for this stupidity.

it shouldn’t dissuade you- many many brands, stores, etc are liberal morons, yet their products are useful- would be impossible to boycot every last liberal business- or business with ties to say some rogue nation, or ties to causes we don’t like etc-

Many of the products we sue today on a regular basis came from companies dominated by liberal ignorance-

Be in the world but not of it- Of course there are some causes that are just so vile and immoral etc that we should boycott the business- and maybe a company being anti-republican is enough to dissuade some, maybe it should be, but again- there are just far too many businesses to boycott them all-

Don’t let their idiotic political bias determine your happiness- Jews were told it was ok to buy meat from sacrificed animals that were dedicated to false gods- it’s not the product that is evil- Paul didn’t say “Boycott false religions by not buying their sacrificed animals’ - no- he gave practical advice- by insinuating that yes, they could, in good conscience, buy it (sacrificed meat was cheaper than market meat) because it made good sense-

But, if your conscience bothers you- then don’t consider linux- but it’s ok to use it if your conscience allows you to- because again, it’s not the product that is evil- that would have been the advice of Paul I think=-

Linux, unlike Windows, is free. Unless you were planning on getting a commercial distro, like RedHat, you can run Linux without giving the Linux Foundation one thin dime.
