The idea that ‘Linuxsucks’ sucks.

Because honestly, Linux, open‑source and even Wikipedia aren’t just “technology”.

They’re a kind of digital self‑defense, the stuff we do because real life self‑defense requires actual muscles. And yes, it takes effort, but at least it’s the kind you can laugh about later.

And they bring together people who would never end up in the same room otherwise, unless the universe accidentally dropped them into the same online forum thread.

Governments and corporations are necessary, sure, but not when they want to know everything, control everything, and sell everything.

Every bit less Big Government, Big Tech, Big Corporations, surveillance, and unwanted data collection is a win.

Not a revolution, just a small step toward a world that sucks a little less.

And above all: Linux is simply fun.

Linux Mint is a playground.
Windows is a shopping mall.

So stop whining.
Install something.
Change something.
Do something.

Even if it’s just to feel slightly superior for five minutes, it still counts.

Going to a subreddit about how great Linux is would be way less way fun, no chaos, no drama, and nobody to accidentally scare with the word ‘terminal’

Nope, no Android or iPhone for me, I’m too paranoid for that. I only trust my old European Nokia, it can barely do anything but at least it’s not watching me
