      The other category of operating systems is the rest of the Linux world that has better opsec. Six percent is like, just Mint users with gamer setups and Steamdecks.

      Windows logo is like an X turned 45 degrees and they are already burning X-box so burn the desk box. They already proved China can run the US government. Stonk box self deprecates into oblivion. M$ is overdue to be liquidated and sold as a worthless American sticker brand

    For me it was NordVPN>Windows Privacy>Signal>Mullvad>Fediverse>CalyxOS>Linux. Surprisingly similar.

    Tracing it back I think I learned about Nord VPN from an Internet Historian ad, and went from there.

    I only still have windows on my gaming pc. And only really because I have a nvidia gpu. I tried a couple things and even just the desktop environment and regular apps are stuttery as all hell.

        I’ll see when we get there what the market situation will be. My 3070 will probably be good for at least 5 more years honestly. Unless windows really goes to shit even further and I just cannot bare it even for gaming.

          it’s a shame the nvidia drivers don’t work for ya. the last nividia card i had was a 970, i never had problems with the proprietary Linux drivers on Debian. the most i have had to was install was the nvidia-driver package and that was it. i guess nvidia has become even more hostile with their 30 series cards.

    I’ve done 1-4. Forced to use W on work lappy, but I do absolutely nothing private on that thing and I’ve put it on a separate LAN segment, wired only. Corporate allows no tampering, so it’s about what I can do.

    I have only one W partition for some specific HW setup related apps that I have failed to get to work or find alternatives for on Linux. That W was locked down as far as I’ve managed, but now I just remove the LAN cable and don’t bother. If I need to install something, I sneaker-net it.
