The time to move to Linux has started !!!
Microsoft To Disable Computers of Users Who Share ‘Non-Mainstream Content’ Online

Do you think google Chromebooks will work
They are supposed to do linux somehow but have their own operating system you log into first before you launch linux I think
@shortstories @UncleIroh No . Because Chromebooks are owned by Google . So if Microsoft does that movement Google will follow . And Apple will do the same .

Being on linux these days is a no-brainer. There are quite a few flavors of linux that go out of their way to hold yourhand and be very user friendly.
It's actually way easier to use linux coming from windows than it is to use apple coming from windows.

I honestly have no idea what the hell TFM is talking about when he says linux is really hard and you need to be able to write code to use it. That's pure bullshit.
@ugly_bastard_reborned @UncleIroh
Why do you need to start with a microsoft windows computer and install linux on it?
Why not install linux on a google chromebook or apple computer?
@shortstories @ugly_bastard_reborned
The hardware is just as important as the software.
No chromebooks! Fuck apple hardware too.
There are decent vendors out there now who make privacy-respecting hardware. You should buy those wherever you can.
