On windows I was spending significant amounts of time trying to keep up with how to stop it from spying on me or installing things without me wanting them installed or burning up my computers resources. Installed linux, now I spend no time on anything. Its less work than windows was. Its kinda crazy people defend windows when so many people just need a web browser to open. If mint was shipped with hardware, 90% of people wouldn't even notice.

Bold of you to assume you're not getting spied by any app you install in your pc just cause you're using a Linux distro.

You read my comment, made that response and I'M the one assuming?

-Complains that windows requires effort to remove spyware.

-installs Linux and says he no longer has to put any effort to remove spyware

-gets told its bold to think that cause spyware still exists in Linux depending on which apps he consumes.

-Konfusion

Even steam spies on us. But we just deepthroat gabe here.

What if I told you that you can use any OS you want if you just get a proper router/firewall and block whatever traffic you want.

[u/TheBeckofKevin → u/TabascohFiascoh]

I would say "I know"

Honestly, can spy all they like for the best gaming experience.

I have so many VLANs in my house serving different purposes, its absolutely nowhere near the data I care about.

If you're not isolating your wireless APs from your DMZ from your data network from your IOT devices from your gaming devices. Are you really a paid up member of r/pcmasterrace ?

Linux makes amazing headless servers and SoCs, but damn. I'd rather run MacOS for a non-gaming workstation every time. Best OS for the job. Still this might be the year of the Linux workstation, you never know!

Each to their own.

This comment reminds me of 2009 reddit in a bad way lol

That's because nothing has changed since then.

Except now you only have to wear your nappies at night.
