My brother, the least computer savvy person, got fed up with windows breaking his drivers once a month and having to reinstall them. He ended up with a Dell desktop, Ubuntu installed and supported.

After a few questions about substitute programs, he hasn’t asked any more help.

He is literally Joe average user.

As Apple and Microsoft hand control of your computer to Big Brother, (May I demand your age?) Linux, variants thereof, will be the only OS without Big Brother inside, even if we have to create a black market in distros.

And the BSD family I hope. Kids should not be excluded from developer and educational opportunities because GitHub or other has “filthy dirty language” and who decides what is acceptable? THE GOVERNMENT!

Don’t forget that some state governments already forbid LGBTQIA+/LGBTQ+ and “unacceptable religious” material. OS vendors have gleefully taken orders from the now discarded Pam Bondi.

I check regularly to see if ICEBlock has been restored to the Apple AppStore, after a court ruled that its removal was a travesty.
