Hello there!

Have you heard of our lord and savior, Linux?

> Yes, but Which version/fork?

If I earn my living from a company that doesn't make Linux versions, should i still switch?

Should my customers?

It's a great idea, and my work does not touch the internet, but the confusing variations of linux do not a happy workfoce make.

Your 'lord and saviour' can fuck off, with all the others, I prefer science.

Anybody thinking that anything you do on a Windows laptop is in any way private, I have a nice bridge to sell you.

So, forcing user to connect to Internet and log in to Microsoft account has more to do than tracking you and selling ads -- Microsoft may be intentionally helping law enforcement unlocking your computer -- and that's not a conspiracy.

Water is not wet. Water makes non-hydrophobic materials wet.
