    He is some influencer, dont you wanna be influenced by the video people?

    Seriously though, Linux doesnt need this guy to speak for it. Its an amazing system. This guy just wants YouTube views. Whatever. :)

    Without Linux, I cant imagine using a computer. Its like asking a big American corporation to allow me to log in, knowing its tracking everything i do. THAT is the insanity of using windows mate.

      He used to review Android phones for one of the Android phone sites. I can’t remember if it was Android Police or 9To5 Android.

      You are aware that, unlike (e.g.) OpenBSD, Linux is (legally) an American product, right?

        Sure. But you probably know that big tech companies like Microsoft and Google spies on their users using the operating system, and makes changes to those said operating systems in order to collect as much private data as possible.

        Its a very big difference compared to using Linux. Sure, most of it is American companies. But you have a lot of choice in the Linux world. Its not the same. I think you know this? Otherwise you have a lot of good things to find out about. :)

          You have increasingly less choice in the Linux world though. Thank you, Lennart Poettering.

                There are entire sites dedicated to explaining why they dont like it, like https://nosystemd.org/

                But yeah, basically its been replacing more and more separate tools with its own solution, in order to have better integration and one common pane of glass, so to speak. But it also means that it becomes a major target for exploits and bugs.

              Gentoo and Void are indeed my favourite Linux distributions. “No systemd” remains my favourite filter on Distrowatch. Void is basically “NetBSD, but fast”. I’d recommend it.
