Sadly your software choice will not circumvent the hw backdoors.

Troll harder, fagget.

i believe that was the point he was trying to make, why bother making your life more difficult by using ganoo/loonix when you have hardware backdoors out the ass anyway

>why bother making your life more difficult by using ganoo/loonix

The purpose of using gnu/linux is a enjoy the freedom of having an open source operating system that you can use, contribute to and learn from. Are you retarded?

>>61225884
Having freedom at the software level doesn't matter if all the hardware in your computer contains spyware and backdoors, and freedom is the only reason to use GNU plus Linux as it is an objectively inferior operating environment to both macos and Windows.

get apple goyim

Windows > GNU+Linux > Mac

I personally subscribe to the "I have nothing to worry about if I have nothing to hide" principle. I don't defend it, since I know that in the long-run it can be harmful. But I'm too lazy and enjoy playing games too much and willing to risk it.

Except there was no switch, either you're a Windows faggot shitposting for replies or a falseflagging Linux faggot shitposting for replies.
This board has gone to hell.

You sure are a smart one.

Except your hardware isn't actively spying on you like Windows 10.

RMS doesn't disagree, he acknowledges that free software is inferior to proprietary software but claims instead that the value comes from the freedom it gives you - However that's a moot point if your hardware is backdoored, so why use inferior software when it doesn't even protect you from the botnet?

Isn't it funny how you decided not to mention the components you suspect to have a hardware-level backdoor. Have a sage buddy and thanks for playing.
