If you recognized yourself in a few of these points, that doesn’t mean Linux isn’t for you. In fact, you can count it as an invitation. It just means you’ve spent a long time in an ecosystem that treats you more like a product than a participant.
  1. You love giving your data away
  2. You enjoy being tracked by your operating system
  3. You’re happy when your computer tells you “no”
  4. You prefer someone else deciding what you can run
  5. You feel uncomfortable if you get to have options
  6. You’d rather battle corporate tech support
  7. You’d rather rent your software than own it
  8. You think ads belong on your desktop
  9. You love being lied to about what’s “industry standard”
  10. You like rebooting for every little update

    Your points are valid, and if I saw this on a site like pcmag, medium or whatever, i would totally be on the same page. Still, how many “on the fence” people are likely to be here, on Lemmy, subscribed to a linux forum?

    I chose to take it as snarky humor for the “in crowd”. Benefit: keeps my blood pressure manageable.
