I thought osx was made specifically for girls and faggots?

I used OSX several years (tiger, leopard, snow-leopard). I also thought GNU/Linux looks not as beautiful as OSX does. But then moved to Ubuntu 12.04, then Xubuntu. I thhink the've got very nice look and feel. Now I'm gentoo user and configure desktop appearance by myself.

And it surprised...no one who knows anything.

The only way to have complete security online is not to go online. But if there are some things that you can do to have better security on the internet and still be on it.

>>51439958
people who complain about online security are like people who walk into public markets and get all weird like "Stop looking at me!" when someone asks what it is they're doing (probably something illegal too)

my point is if you're in a public space you inherently give up some of your privacy, by the very nature of the thing

it's my favorite DE too, but i can't say if it's objectively the best. i do know that it is actively developed and maintained though:

and the xubuntu team actually commits a lot to upstream xfce, so it's not disappearing any time soon. i'm sticking with it 'til lxqt is more mature.
