[QUOTE="mazskolnieces, post: 911564, member: 88422"] A lot of people that use Linux are very privacy focused. They are mis-guided in thinking that they somehow have much greater privacy if they use Linux. Then they are also mis-guided in thinking that they have better security on Linux. Privacy is not security. And there is no privacy in this world due a person's data being shared on platforms well beyond what they do on their own personally owned digital devices. Anyone that is born today, has a bank account, gets medical treatment, and buys stuff online has no real privacy. Their data is out there to be hacked. What people do on their local host is almost irrelevant. Then there are those who are after anonymity. Privacy is not anonymity. The same argument applies here too about a person's data. What a person does on their local host is almost irrelevant when it comes to their data out there. Finally, there are those Linux users who are vehemently anti-establishment. They hate Alphabet, Microsoft, Oracle, and all the other tech giants out there. They're also anti-government in the sense that they think everybody is surveilling them. These are ideological users that care more about ideology than usability. [/QUOTE]
