Don't switch operating systems or hold out on buying products just because someone online said about a product being only for "consoomers" or "chads" or whatever the fuck other dumb bullshit people throw around. , You shouldn't put so much stock into their half-baked unsubstantiated bullshit opinions, because realistically they don't give a single shit about you -- and the sooner that you realize that the better.

@ThreeBadgersInATrenchcoat You're right, 'they' don't care about you. They care about hurting bad actors, and that just happens to help some people.

But you're right, it's fully unintentional.

@Fuzzy62 Its not always about hurting bad actors. Trashing Windows and Mac and telling people to use Ubuntu, trashing Ubuntu and telling people to use Arch, trashing Arch and telling people to use Artix, trashing Artix and telling people to use Void. Custom keyboards over stock ones, trashing Apple and telling people to switch to Android, etc etc. None of these hurt bad actors, but yet they're some if the most common in this context. For many people, Linux isn't better. Its security is so

Many out there are like me, here's a list of safer, more secure stuff you should consider. If you're hanging in the 'My OS is better than yours' echo chambers yeah, you're going to get some downright bad advice.

But on the other hand we have people like you who scream everything anyone tells you is bull. That's worse because many actually are just trying to help people.
