You gonna make an argument or are going to pull the "everything is le hecking spying on us so it's okay if I let them do it more" shit?

I have a job.

If you really care about privacy and spyware then you shouldn't be online.

>>109003970
Being online isn't an option in the modern world. Life doesn't work without it anymore.

last time i tried linux it was basically unusable because my laptop has hidpi and there was no fractional scaling.

>>109003939
I use Linux at home and at my job

>>109003917
Illogical, if the ISP level spying was working they wouldn't need to waste time and resources putting spyware into Windows OS. Why would the glowniggers need to hack phones and implant spyware if they could get 100% of the intel from the main internet backbone level? See how your childlike response breaks apart with the base level of logic and critical thinking?

>If the situation was hopeless, they wouldn't need to flood us with propaganda
>If you can't overthrow a government with AR-15s they wouldn't want to confiscate them
It's the same thing here
>If they can see every thing you do via ISP level backdoors why would they need to waste time and money making your OS come with root kits and keyloggers?

Like seriously, why would Windows OS need keyloggers natively if all the keys are logged at the fiber backbone?

>>109003903
SolidWorks is the only reason I boot Windows at all.

>>109003903
Yes. I have a job and am not a pedo, so I dont care. I use Windows 10 LTSC

>>109003903
Software & hardware support, the core reason to use any OS as that is the job an OS is supposed to handle. Linux, unfortunately, isn't quite there yet, especially with support from smaller hardware manufacturers (like my audio interface).

>>109004259
>>109004058
you have no clue how any of this works
there isn't a literal centralized data sink where feds get your data from, they get it from multiple resources, so yes, it does make sense for each respective chain in your internet connection to harvest data independently of eachother

>>109003939
>I have a job.
I don't, but I get it. I learned so much, just from using it many hours and people with less time probably don't want to learn something new, when there is "no need" for it. Coming home from the goyjob, watching goytube, shitposting on 4chan and playing goyple A games on Windows. "It just werks"

But yeah, there are definitely some tricks to learn/find out, but even as a noob there are many beginner friendly distros, if you care about privacy and just a clean, more secure OS.

I don't know if this is Stockholm Syndrome speaking, but I really like Linux, it's such a cool OS. You can do (almost) everything. And you have to remember that basically every AI is trained on all the open source linux code, I literally set up a server with GPT. But I get it... no Kernel Malware Games and no Adobe.

>>109003903
Anyone still on Windows at this point is tech illiterate, like an iToddler, an actual child who was taught this is the norm or coping hard because they (think they) can't let go of some Windows specific software.

>>109003903
>Genuinely, why are you still using Windows?

anyone screeching like a vegan about privacy on 4Chitwood is a hypocritical nigger
if you actually gave a shit about your privacy then you wouldn't be here voluntarily begging the NSA to analyze and track every post you make on the biggest fake anonymity honeypot on earth
if you preach about privacy on 4Chitwood you've already proven you don't give a single fuck about privacy
i bet you preach about privacy while posting all day on facebook too you virtue signaling nigger
if you care about privacy then prove it and fuck off and don't come back
or just keep proving in this thread with every post you make that you don't give a single fuck about privacy and are just a virtue signaling nigger

It's 100% guaranteed every single virtue signaling schizo in this thread also carries the original 1984 holy grail in their pocket, a device that tracks every step you take, records every word you say, tracks every breath you breathe, uploads every word you type, scans every photo you snap, records every minute you sleep, logs every McDonald's you visit, spies on everything you buy, etc.

You ever wonder why despite the fact that Apple and Google spy on their users 1000X harder than MS, 100% of all online privacy screeching is about MS?
The only difference between Apple, Google, and MS, is that Apple and Google have trained their braindead niggercattle to religiously take it up the ass without complaining.

Trvke. Like how can you even be on /g/ without using gnu/linux in ANY form? Bare-metal, VM's, WSL, Docker.

>>109003903
id be on linux now but i have an nvidia gpu : (

>>109004380
It's not about privacy all the time, it's about security as well, it's about a stable no slop OS. I don't even care that much about privacy, I still think it's important, but Linux and MacOS are just way better than Windows.

>>109003903
>Genuinely, why are you still using Windows?

GIMP is still many years behind.

Thanks for the sources, anon(s). But I still think that MacOS is better than Windows, I personally use Linux, but MacOS is definitely the better option out of the corporate operating systems.

Linux is great for servers and embedded applications. I use it for a lot of things, but I hate the type of person who makes it their identity.

>>109004507
Use WSL in Windows for linux if you need things occasionally. Or run Windows as a guest VM in linux.

>>109004507
>I’m not sure what other options there are.
qemu/kvm with the virt-manager UI. Fastest VM, near native speed, you could just spin up a Windows VM, or try out Winboat.

What kind of applications do you even need? Maybe they even work in wine/bottles.

>>109003903
Because I need a desktop OS. This means either Windows or macOS.
Windows works fine and it'scheaper than buying a Mac.

>>109003903
w10 ltsc is just fine + you can turn off everything.
I just want to start computer, install apps that i need and they work i don't have time to play with config files or debate rust troons why everything should be rewritten into Rust. Get rid of Rust troons and Rust in kernel maybe i will think about Linux.

>>109005171
>I just want to start computer, install apps that i need and they work
anon, linux does work like that. config files are optional if you want to rice your apps but the default settings are fine

>>109003903
Its exhausting to have to worry and care about everything all the time. I have it set up how I like, and it just works. If/when I grow out of pc gaming I'll look into other options. But I want it to be something where I can just set it up and have it work. Computer is a tool for doing things, not the thing to do.

>>109005191
>Computer is a tool for doing things
For us it's more than that.
We use Linux to feel like we're part of a family.
We are a movement. We are a revolution.

>>109005217
>We are a revolution.
No, you are a kulak hoarding the peoples' RAM. Your local commissar will visit you promptly, to appropriate your PC hardware to the State for fair redistribution to the people.
