The largest OS for spyware and monopoly shenanigans is Google's android ecosystem and that's Linux based.
Honestly I don't understand all the Windows hate. Sure it made since back in 2001, but smartphones outshitify anything Windows ever did. The proof of it is that Redmond has been trying to phonify Windows since version 8 so they could be more shitty.
I'm not a Linux fan boy by any means, but you've at least got to give it a fair deal...
Saying Linux sucks because of Google's Android is the equivalent of saying you hate all vegetables because Brussel Sprouts suck.
I think it's more like saying you hate vegetables because one particular farmer grew a crappy brussel sprout
Just because there are other things that are worse, or at least as bad, doesn't mean we shouldn't call put bad behaviour when it happens. And written MS it keeps happening.
Man, I'm with you with being against the windows hate, but you lost me completely at the android hate.
I agree Google sucks, but let's not pretend iOS is better. And yes, I realize Apple loves to tell everyone how much they care, and that they love to exploit the fact android allows third party installations, which can (if you're an idiot) lead to all kinds of problems with viruses.
