What's wrong with monopolies?
Why should I value my privacy?
Why should I use code that is open and freely auditable instead of closed and proprietary?
Why should I have more ownership of my computer?

These are the questions you are essentially asking, and while I could write a whole treatise on it I doubt you would change your mind anyway. Enjoy using Windows.

I will enjoy using Windows and the literally limitless software and hardware that it can run. You can enjoy using whatever OS you choose and the incredibly limited options you have in both hardware and software. While you go endlessly tinker with you OS, ill actually use a computer for what it was meant for, and that is running software.

lol why are you such a dick? That last comment was me politely trying to end this convo on good terms. What is this pissing contest all of a sudden?

All I ever hear about is how bad Linux users are, then I run into someone like you who is just insufferable because... Why? Someone uses different software than you? What are you, a fucking child? Who cares. Congratulations, a trillion dollar corporation with endless funds made an operating system that can run Photoshop or something. And my distro that is run by volunteers through sheer passion for free software doesn't. Awesome. I don't use Photoshop.
