You can do all the privacy measures in the world, but if the people you talk to are using spyware then it’s all out the window. (literally Windows, get it?)
This video breaks down some of the basic reasons to switch to Linux so you can convince your friends: https://video.simplifiedprivacy.com/why-linux-beats-windows/
That voice was really difficult to listen to. And then talking about how Bill Gates shoves left wing media down our throats and uses msnbc as an example lol
Thanks for your service, now we don’t have to continue into the video
so… bill gates is on the right now?
He’s a capitalist and one of the richest people in the world. Nothing about him fits the bill of a leftist. I think you’re coming at this with the US’s perception of the left, like the democratic party, which wouldn’t be considered left almost anywhere else in the world.
Linus Torvalds is a bit more of a leftist, and the whole ideology of Linux is pretty fitting for the left.
Bill Gates is a hypocrite. He got wealthy off capitalism, yet often promotes socialist type policies. Also his policy ideas involve centralized control. And MSN links are promoted by bing
You’re correct that Linux is free and therefore less corporate. But one could also argue that it’s anti-big tech and google/microsoft are on the left. Also privacy is anti-NSA, and in this sense anti-government would be considered the right. However, people of all sides can enjoy Linux
God I wish he promoted socialist policies. But he certainly does not. I do not agree with the statement that “the biggest capitalists in the world are actually socialists”.
People on the left are generally anti big tech, anti-google, anti-microsoft, anti-NSA. Anti-government is also not inherently right wing, especially if you look at anarchists instead of tankies. But adding restrictions onto giant corporations (that effectively become more powerful than the government) is more of a leftist opinion.
Let’s start with the basics. Do you acknowledge that msn.com news leans to the left? Then do you acknowledge that Microsoft Bing and Windows, promote MSN?
I do not agree that MSN is left. Maybe it’s liberal, but liberal is not left.
What defines left then?
Jfc, Linux isn’t a religion, we don’t have to proselytize. We aren’t any fucking different to call anyone “normie”, which is bullshit to begin with.
You wanna spread Linux? You use it, and if someone asks, you talk about it in an honest and friendly manner. That’s all anyone needs to do.
Amen, brother!
Leading by example is the proper way forward.
Most people hate to be told that they should be using X because it is so much better than Y or Z.
Belittling the other person’s preferences is a sure way to lose their interest.

Friends? If i had friends I wouldn’t be using Linux, would I?
LOL! Not necessarily. I got three of my friends converted to Linux. They’re running Linux Mint
For how long are they running Linux?
6 months now and they love it.

If anything, that video makes me want to quit Linux because of how much cringe it made me feel.
