What about Free-BSD?
Have ~~freedom~~ their code stolen by corps
Christ a bit of paranoia would do modern internet users good, I still remember when it wasn't normal to have every single piece of identifying information online and readily available for anyone.

Old people crew checking in to shout out Tux Racer!
I think the real thing we need to do to attract windows users is have tuxkart installed by default.
Tuxkart about to be a dependency for base

Hahaha Windows users having sense
have no idea how to install another OS
Why would i need to? I tried Linux and it's mental. Took 20 minutes to edit mount settings on my hdd. fstab, gnome disks, and whatnot. Meanwhile Windows is: here's your files bro, whenever you want. And don't even get me started with the countless problems i encountered to install apps, edit hdd permissions, configuring panels and more.
Yes on Windows I think disks are not mounted, they are just there on the letters
But that works fine on Linux too. I have not used multi-drive systems much, but I use an encrypted SD card that is liked to a folder in my home so that programs dont even need to write to anything custom. Was like a few clicks and even worked on GNOME, on KDE that is easier too.
Panels, yes. KDE had a separate panel config per monitor which is worse than on Windows. But apart from that, they work out of the box and are really customizable.
GNOME... doesnt allow configurations like at all. You need 3rd party apps for everything, then you can do whatever you want, which also works well.
So maybe that just has changed.
That is my experience of one week ago
If you wanted to take a second crack at it, it is easier than ever to learn how to use Linux. The one thing I have found ChatGPT useful for is guiding me through setting up a new program or daemon or to explain to me what that super cryptic error message means. ChatGPT is not perfect and requires whoever is using it to sanity check the result it gives, but more often than not I find I walk away with a better understanding of what I was doing.
Why would I go through all that effort when there’s no real reason to
Lol
Denial at its finest
I use windows on my PC, mint on my laptop and lineageOS on my phone. Installing linux on a gaming PC feels pointless to me
I made the full switch probably 1.5y ago. Gaming on Linux is great now. The only major issue is modding. Nexus doesn't have an app for Linux yet (it's in development) so you have to install mods manually. That's not too big of an issue, but it is annoying. Other than that it's nearly flawless, excluding a few games that have anti-cheats that haven't added Linux support, like Valorant.
Well then you probably dont know enough :)
I can, I just prefer windows
The only Unix system I ever willingly install is android, even though it's harder to install than Linux

Mac owners have money? more like had money
The key is to have that infinite money glitch, aka be born rich and have parents that stay rich
More like Windows user have games.
In all fairness paranoia is important in things like finding someone trying to slip a backdoor into xz. Going by the most recent Windows 11 update, Microsoft seems to be "we'll fix it in production".
Well it wasn't so much paranoia as obsession. The person who found it wasn't paranoid, they just went "Why is my connection taking a quarter of a second longer than it used to? This is unacceptable!!!"
Technically they thought they might have introduced a bug that caused the delay / a regression and set about investigating it. Pretty sure it was a Microsoft developer too.
