Linux is shit. Use windows 10 instead.
also, muh '''privacy''' is mere a meme. Don't fall for it. Nothing to fear, nothing to hide.

It's serious answer. No meme.

it's not an OS for end users
when you know it it's great for everyday use, but if you don't it's not good at all
windows and os x are just mediocre regardless of your experience level, sort of a middle ground

Oh my god, fucking nudes. That simple. Literally anything could leak from your machine.

There are plenty of things that people do that are not illegal or immoral but could cost them dearly if it was made public.

quit taking nudes if you're worried about people seeing them. even if you take the OS out of the mix, there's still the risk of nudes getting leaked through other channels.

Not the point. Would you let your toilet manufacturer install cameras in your bathroom? They only want to get metrics on how you're using it, dude.

What if you're gay and you haven't come out yet, and your browsing history leaks?

I'm not saying not to take them. I'm saying if you're going to be embarrassed by something, there's likely a reason.

>person enjoys being slapped around by bananas
>this information is leaked to the public
>person now has two options:
>1) be embarrassed and try to hide it
>2) own up to it and quit being a fucking pussy
people won't respect you if you can't stand up for what you believe in.

By all means, take nudes. Send them out. Just don't give a fuck what people think of you for doing it. Problem solved.

Because Americans are brainwashed into thinking anything that is free is worse than anything you pay for. This mindset allows companies like Apple and Microsoft to trap Americans into their ecosystem of products and services so that before the American realizes they are being conned it's already too late.

I'm still in awe at how popular Apple products are when they don't even support FLAC.

Linux is obviously more stable than Windows for an average user.

Its because normies don't need or want to figure out how something works. They just want it to work for them.

Do you builld your own house too? Build your own car? Grow your own food? You don't because it doesn't interest you, you just want the end result. That's what a computer is to 99% of the population. There's a reason why computers didn't catch until a GUI was introduced.

Like how I'm okay with my car because I only use it to get from point a to point b, while a car enthusiast would probably hate driving it because it's not fast enough, he can't change this part or that part. I don't give a shit, it's just a vehicle.

That's why Linux will never be an average guy's OS. Shit has too many problems for the average guy and you have to jump through hoops to make it work. Everyone here is okay jumping through those hoops because we know how to and are interested in doing so.

Like seriously, you used FLAC as an example? Noone gives a shit about your free lossless faggot file, just audio enthusiasts. If anything the average person would think it's useless as it takes up more space on their device.

The ignorance of tech enthusiasts is astounding.

Windows 10 has been running on both my parents laptops for a few years. They follow the golden rules of not clicking shit that looks like a scam and to pull the plug and restart the thing before calling me. Haven't had a single problem.

Maybe your mom's just a dumbass.

>>>/v/, either actually LEARN informatics or fuck off.
I'm sick, physically and emotionally sick, of your incessant shitposting.
If you don't understand a topic, don't comment on it.
Linux is the furthest away from being obsolete compared to the proprietary and bricked shitfest that is Macintosh software and hardware, or the banal and bloated botware of Micropenis.
If you want play your shitty AAA games (in which they don't even bother anymore), rather than actually contribute to intelligent technology related discussion? That's great.
But newsflash!
