    Sure…an open source OS is worse than a closed one. Because you are too lazy to check the former, yet trust the latter ignoring all its well documented cases of spying on users…

    Maybe you should try to go back to basic logic over idiological tribalism before you question other people’s perspective.

      I’m all for open source, but being open source does not mean that it cannot be, or even that it is unlikely to be malicious

      Zero reading comprehension. I am not a windows user myself as I said, and would happily recommend virtually any other Linux distro (aside from the fact that I am at best a novice when it comes to the various differences) over windows.

      But not one made by, or at least greenlit by an autocratic regime that actively seeks to gain influence abroad. People shouldn’t use fucking red star OS either.

        Wow your propaganda susceptibility is really showing. Guess the american thought police did their job well. Imagine calling windows, a literal spyware masterpiece that sucks up every bit of data it can a " reasonably working and widespread OS with broad compatibility" and an open source piece of software, “a dystopian government OS with a direct uplink to the thought police”. Like honestly what thoughts exactly do you think China is pilicing on western users and how are they acting on them? Meanwhile Microsoft, Samsung, Google, are all actively collecting as much data as possible and not even trying to hide it anymore, despite not being open source.
