Using linux is a political statement. Prove me wrong.

or a poverty statement

Proprietary software is released on Linux. Therefore it is not a political system

You actually have to pay extra to get Linux since you need a USB stick as well. That way you can wipe over the OS that came with the machine.

and this is the biggest weak point of free software: there is no free hardware

>>58672141
That's not really a draw back though. Depending on how you look at it, you're hardware is an extension and owned by the software that operates it. Open/free software actually gives you control of it. I always was sort of resistant to wanting to learn how to use linux until I figured that out.

I'd just like to interject for a moment. What you're referring to as Linux, is in fact, GNU/Linux, or as I've recently taken to calling it, GNU plus Linux. Linux is not an operating system unto itself, but rather another free component of a fully functioning GNU system made useful by the GNU corelibs, shell utilities and vital system components comprising a full OS as defined by POSIX.

Many computer users run a modified version of the GNU system every day, without realizing it. Through a peculiar turn of events, the version of GNU which is widely used today is often called Linux, and many of its users are not aware that it is basically the GNU system, developed by the GNU Project.

There really is a Linux, and these people are using it, but it is just a part of the system they use. Linux is the kernel: the program in the system that allocates the machine's resources to the other programs that you run. The kernel is an essential part of an operating system, but useless by itself; it can only function in the context of a complete operating system. Linux is normally used in combination with the GNU operating system: the whole system is basically GNU with Linux added, or GNU/Linux. All the so-called Linux distributions are really distributions of GNU/Linux.
