    Anyone who still thinks that is either new to Linux or profoundly naive.

    People still shit downvotes on me whenever I talk about how linux isn’t perfect.

    Microsoft, for all its faults is at least honest enough to admit outright that their software needs protection. They’re still not honest about what kind of protection it needs. But at least they’re not going to yoink anything off your system they don’t want you to use like Apple does

      Back in the last century, iirc, or the very early 2000’s, I logged-out of my desktop ( linux ) one time & discovered there was a new user on my machine…

      the new username was “you are dead”.

      1st time I knew I’d been cracked.

      Not a nice feeling.

      Educational, however, & motivating…

      did me good.

      I’m glad the person was more interested in communicating my trusting foolishness to me, than in doing real harm…
