- Bigotry will not be tolerated.
3. Post Linux-related content

It’s called “redundant acronym syndrome”, or “RAS syndrome” for short.
using foss operating systems and installing lots of spyware and proprietary software on it double finger guns
Who would do such a thing? side-eyes Discord, Spotify, Bitwig, Steam, VS Code, Sublime, etc. on my taskbar
*Clones vscode source and packages it using electron
Like all cases, it depends. I use both foss and proprietary software. I always checkout foss first when needing new software.

It's like a dance move. Climbing motion.
FOSS is sometimes less secure, because it builds on the fact that the user is also a contributor, not all decisions are premade and there is a ton of freedom.
Take Android or iOS for example, both are pretty much equally secure and both are very freedom restricting.
These are core architecture advantages like
- encrypted user accounts
- the system actually using the secure element
- monopole allowing them to enforce a mostly opt-in permission model
- apps need to comply or they dont exist
Android is still mostly Open source but it isnt really free from the user perspective. This is not really the purpose of FOSS tbh, but FOSS software is often very configurable, allows replacing stuff, using what you want, which increases attack surface a lot.
It's funny how people forget games are software.
