How is not having support for something a plus for you? I swear to god, some Linux users are so stuck up.

Where to start....

My dumb TV doesn't support smart features. A plus.

My coffee maker doesn't support wifi. A plus.

My games don't support in-app purchases. A plus.

My windows 10 laptop (did you read that?! Whaaat, I'm not a Linux user???!!!) doesn't support Windows 11. Major plus.

My MacBook's OS version (no way!!!) doesn't support unnecessary FaceTime features. A plus.

What TV did you get that doesn’t have smart features?

I looked, but all the ones I could find were 1080p, no HDR, and either tiny or made for commercial/industrial installation.

I got a Sceptre one a few years ago. Okay quality, terrible speakers (though an external soundbar takes care of that.)

fingerprint login is not secure. period. Being stuck in using a password login is a plus

You could just disable fingerprint login, though.

Sure, but that's not the point of the conversation. The point is that some stranger is judging a whole community for the preference of one single person who may or may not belong to said community.
