In the past 5 years, Linux has come an insanely long way. At the same time, Microsoft Windows has gone insanely off the rails with their telemetry tracking, data harvesting, pushing ads on your operating system. Straight-up recording your private data including banking and passwords with their CoPilot AI bologna!! Even more, you’re like millions of other computer users not willing to give your life to the AI that’s being forced upon you 😡
Enough is enough. It’s time to take your privacy back, choose freedom and stability in your computing experience.
About 4 years ago, I realized how every person on the planet is a target for security threats, constant spying on us and the uncomfortable feeling of having AI doing the things I enjoy doing for me. At that time, I was a life long Windows user. However, I like thinking for myself, and creating my own content the old fashion way thank you very much. That with my already 6 years plus of taking my personal privacy seriously; I finally left Windows for Linux.
To make my change more comfortable, Linux Mint as the Cinnamon Desktop is so familiar feeling, the OS is known for being damn good for gaming. A little of poking around and I am now able to do every single thing I did with Windows before. But now I have no AI, no tracking and my computers all run like rockets all day long with no slowing down 🙂
I’ll never return to Windows or use anything on my computer that uses AI. To me AI is just dumbing down the world in general. AI is touted as a “help” tool. I don’t agree. It’s more like “I’m too lazy to learn it so AI can do it for me” tool.
In this past few months, I have convinced several other people in my life to give it a try. All of them were sold and are faithful Linux Mint users now too! They found the change to be extremely comfortable. Including my girlfriend. My son. Even my 75 year old mother is totally comfortable using Linux and I couldn’t be happier!
