guys!! don’t you think we should start a big buzz on the internet for Linux? after what we discovered that bill gates the CEO of the evil company Microsoft is a predator in the Epstein files, then it’s our chance to start a global media campaign against Microsoft and all of it’s products!! we will make people leave windows for Linux! I know that It might not have that big effect since it’s very hard for people but I’m sure we can wake many people up and save them from windows to the warm hands of the pinguin. what do you think? I just think that we should seize every opportunity to spread Linux. #boycottMicrosoft #switchtolinux

    It’s not just you, I agree. People should switch to Linux because they like it, not because they were told Microsoft sucks.

      I started my Linux journey out or curiosity as a preteen, didn’t stick with it. Dabbled in college wi5h Linux. Ultimately I started down a privacy rabbit hole, started hating Microsoft the more I learned. Switched to Linux. Sure, I started using Linux for my machines out of hatred for Microsoft and Apple (and google…) But ultimately, now I just love Linux.

      I have freedom to do what I want, how I want. I love supporting open source initiatives.

        I had a similar thing. I started using Linux for privacy reasons and over the course of replacing all of the proprietary software I was using I fell in love with FOSS. Especially GIMP and other photography-related software.

          You’re one of the first people I have ever heard who loves GIMP. Usually people in that world are brainwashed into Adobes products.

          I appreciate GIMP and other FOSS offerings.
