Summary: Software that respects people’s freedom (and by extension privacy as well) is an alluring proposition; those who choose to try GNU/Linux for the wrong reasons are likely the wrong target audience for advocates
THIS afternoon we reposted this video (or response video, which several more people reacted to in recent hours). Among the high-profile (large audience) responses we have:
Full-Time Linux Users React to the Linus Daily Driver Challenge Video – InvidiousIf you do these 5 things… You should NOT use Linux – Invidious
I decided to do a video not amplifying many of the false claims (if not outright trolling), seeing that Windows is a waning platform and we ought to steer people towards freedom, not a bunch of ‘lesser evil’ or ‘lesser Windows’ such as Android or MacOS. Sadly, the corporate media will never help us; it wants us to live under this illusion that the only permissible choices are GAFAM (a false dichotomy) and people have a really weak grasp of software freedom, not to mention literacy associated with concepts like freedom, which corporate media habitually associates with extremism [1, 2]. Some people try GNU/Linux (which they call “Linux”) for the wrong reasons, based on a miscomprehension or pursuit of adventure. This won’t end well. The intentions are not sincere and the motivation isn’t there to begin with. █
