    internet privacy and reducing data

    Then I think you’re ready to make the full jump to FOSS. I was into Linux when I was a little pre-teen, and I’ve only gotten more into it as big data hungry mega corporate induced culture preyed upon us.

    I still use Twitch and Discord but I finally deleted my data on Instagram, Twitter, Reddit and rn I’m working on doing the same for Microsoft and Google. Goodbye Android.

      Absolutely however I do not own a person computer currently as I have to use one for work - when I did own one until recently I usually ran Manjaro on it. I started tinkering with Linux back in the days of early Ubuntu as an alternative to Windows XP :)

        I worked IT for a while, making sure I could run Linux on my work computer was a priority in every job.

          Unfortunately I don’t work in IT - Aerospace Engineer and don’t get a say in IT and operating systems generally!
