[[This drumbeat of FUD against Windows is for the ignorant children who think Linux is somehow cool.]]
Most don’t use it to ‘be cool’- we turn to it to avoid the windows spyware crap in windows 10- and because linux is safer (although not bulletproof) online- for everyday online activities- it fits the bill nicely, without having to geek out and know tons of code or commands- it just works now- and most people can use it easily without being tech savvy at all
While it is true some elitists think they are ‘cool’ for using linux in a complicated command environment- and pride themselves on knowing all kinds of geeky crap- you have the same thing with some windows users- but for the most part- it’s not about being cool for most users in both os’s- it’s about having a choice to use a safer os, and to avoid the impossible to shut off windows spyware crap coded into windows 10-
“we turn to it to avoid the windows spyware crap in windows 10-”
The Linux drumbeat has been for many year before Windows 10 was ever out.
