Welcome! I’ve been on Nobara KDE for two years, exclusively for one, and I too recently purged all trace of Windows from my nvme drive and repurposed it for games.

Feels real good.

They want their greasy tendrils all up in your PC’s guts. Every bit of info flowing in your system can be monetized. All they care about is money and dominance and their “AI” in everyone’s devices is their wet dream.

Cancer is preferable to tech bros as cancer doesn’t know its killing the host. Tech bros know full well their actions are killing the planet and its inhabitants. Their actions are willfully vile and toxic; completely at odds with the needs of humanity.

Don’t expect them to ever do the right thing for anyone but themselves.

Mainly just the satisfaction of supporting a project we like. IIRC, my Mom’s PC is on the version they’re sunsetting too. Pretty sure we’re gonna need to update it anyway.

My mom loves Zorin OS! We’re strongly considering the pro version now.

I wish Youtube operated like a PiHole where you could upload a list of channels and block them all in one fell swoop.

Maaaaaybe when Windows wasn’t actually disrespectful to its user base but now that they’ve gone full “we know what’s best for you” and are actively ruining their OS and fucking with their users to push garbage tier AI shit no one wants… Yeah, miss me with this shit man.

Linux respects the autonomy of its users and for that reason alone it has gained me as a user.
