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.
@UncleIroh @shortstories He is saying that Linux might cuck out .Do we need to move to TempleOS ? Do we need to move to OpenBSD ? 🤣
@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.

Linux is here to stay. He's talking about scary stories from the bad old days in the early 2000's when just installing FreeBSD or Debian was a major deal. Fucking around with xorg.conf for screen resolutions and backporting for corect versions, all that.
Hasn't been that way for at least a decade.
@UncleIroh @shortstories I see . Just a boomer fear . 🤣
@ugly_bastard_reborned @shortstories
He thinks linux is like TempleOS.
@UncleIroh @shortstories Not only him . A lot of people . 🤣
@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?
