@nemo I just finished them, they're in reply to the 1/3 message. Yeah a lot of tech people use them but I think that can be more attributed to Linux just being fun to use and mess around with due to versatility.
My point wasn't that the premium price was attributed to privacy or security. I meant its so easy to use and made for anyone to just pick up and get going, and yet its so secure, directly contradicting prior notions of convenience and security in tandem.
