also its true Linux users distro hop like whores

The only reason i even keep Steam around is for Meme Fortress 2. Most AAA games are shit and I'm a hardened /vr/fag. I mostly play arena FPS and shit on DOSbox. You;d be surprised at how many games GNU/Linux has now but I'm not interested in most of that shit. I'm an adult now and I don't have as much time for video games as I used to, so I send my free time on hobbies I value more.

Yes, because RedHat and Canonical are open about what they collect (does RH even collect anything? It's not meant to be a user distribution), they don't serve you hidden ads, they don't profit off your data, and you can turn off data collection without having to follow complex instructions meant to deter you from turning off data collection.

No (you) don't. It was an obvious misdirection to escape the fact that you are a defensive idiot whose only argument is that the majority of people use Windows, so it's somehow better. The majority of people in the world also make under $1000 dollars a day, does that mean that's better than making $60k?

>>62286613
What holes? Please explain, implying that Intel collects user data does not in any way hurt my argument.

>>62286658
No, and that's absolutely besides the point. The easier it is for an alphabet soup agency to get your information, the easier it is for anyone else to get your information as well. It's not a hard concept to understand.

>>62286910
I don't know the actual ratio, but the last time I read some reports on it, I think like somewhere between ~60% of gamers use smartphones as their primary gaming platform, and around ~30% say that they primarily use a console. So if you remove mobile gaming and console gaming, you have a very small group of people who play computer games.

>>62286921
1) I don't use AutoCad or Maya
2) I use both Linux and macOS at home and Linux at work, OP said nothing about Linux exclusively

I think this is satire, desu senpai. Seeing how some of the reasons include that it is maintained and gets frequent updates and that it is free of charge.

>>62286799
That logic actually doesn't work out.
Nothing to hide != everyone has your information.
I trust Apple and Banks for example with my information. I do not trust randos on 4chan with that same information because there are zero authorities and bodies watching over what randos do with that information. I have nothing to hide from Apple or Banks, and anything I do want to hide I turn to another service in which I trust. And these channels of trust are all relatively separate from each other, although obviously it isn't that hard to connect the dots if authorities REALLY wanted to - but I'm not in any shady businesses.
Like I get the point is to make people scared of anyone having their information, but realistically I'm going to trust a business which has been beat the fuck up by the EU way more than I do you.

>>62286953
Of course, I highly recommend it to those who are seriously concerned with their privacy. Just seems like there's a lot of faux-outrage on /g/ these days, largely centered around brands and platforms rather than a legitimate concern of what their data is doing.

so going from Windows to Linux wouldnt give me anything I didnt have before ( I used Linux two distros actually still do (one) but I know that IMO Windows is superior in what matters)

Also I dont want to learn to code to see the diffrence between linux and widnows jus like I dont have to be a mechanic to know the diffrence between and Audi and a Lada

People want what works and the majority likes windows thats a fact sure Linux is good if you want to customaize it to hell but why its just a tool, most people that talk shit about windows and privacy use google search or the same duckduck go or have an android smartphone

so to talk muh privacy windows bad is a nonfactor coming from that kind of people

>>62287260
Well, this is kind of back-pedalling since you're the one that brought up the question about security and privacy in the first place. The point is that it's a very valid argument to want open and free software running on your systems. Imagine automatic vote counters, would you really trust proprietary software doing this sort workload?

Of course you wouldn't, and that's why for example EU regulations require automatic vote counters to be offline and to use open source software.

>>62287298
yeah EU...they like open source right?
