why would I need to hide my terabytes of Linux ISO downloads?

It's all fun and games until a Microsoft Purity Enforcement squad is kicking in your door.

Nah, it's all good I subscribe to Linus Torvalds protection services. When the Microsoft vans get within four blocks of my address, They'll drop ship in dozens of fully-armed penguin paratroopers. After the incursion they even send in a penguin based cleaner team to help get rid of the remains.

You don't want their admin to contact you about how you're a n00b for not using Arch.

[–] [email protected] 3 points 2 months ago (1 children)

Because we see which distros you're using, and we judge you for it.

Gentoo, in 2024? Really? You should be using Arch if that's your thing. It's not the 90s any more.

Arch? I prefer EndeavorOS as it lets me easily install an arch distro using a nice GUi, I really don't care about the nitty gritty of setting up my own network manually, i am like 99.9% of people in that regard
