The funny thing about “the Linux user types” is that I actually only got into Linux because of other commies who use it and swear by it. Actually got distro recommendations on a commie website when I was first looking into it. I guess Open Source really does attract all kinds. From fascist nutjobs thrown off of even places like Twitter, to the types of communists who are like “Proprietary software is an infosec nightmare and I refuse to use it for political reasons. Also, I don’t want to give one red cent, or any personal data, to American corporations.” I’m not that nuts. But modern day Linux really isn’t the pain it used to be, I like my chosen DE a lot more than I’ve ever liked any Windows UI, and simply not using a proprietary OS made by a US company is a good opsec decision that doesn’t really cost me any extra spoons, time, money, or effort. Do I obsess over personal security and think I actually matter to foreign feds? No way. But if a safety precaution costs me nothing or is an excuse for something I wanted to do anyway, I might as well take that precaution.
