Now that Linux (at least most of the distributions in use: Debian, Ubuntu, Mint and derivatives) has been proven to have NSA backdoors, is there any reason left to use it over Windows 10?

Listen cunt.

The code is open. Grow a set, learn to code, identify whatever backdoor you're whining bout, and remove it.

It's built-in the kernel. You can't decode it.

Different Anon, why not use an alternative os?

in the last 2 or 3 years I haven't engaged in any community discussion. For me it's just my personal OS, nothing else. It just werks™
The only bad thing is systemd, and that official repos don't have MP3 support, Flash, DVD playback support, etc. you have to add the unofficial repos (unlike Mint that can play any shit after the default install)

Well, RPMFusion is developed by pretty much the same team as Fedora and RHEL, but since they are a business and everything, they try to aide to licensing in a weird way considering they are the same team that sleeps with NSA.

Because it's open source, meaning if you take time you can find where these so-called backdoors are and get rid of them as you so choose, if you take time to learn how to fucking program.

Show us the Linux backdoors and we could get into most of the servers on the internet.

Hopefully nobody actually believes the "NSA did Murdock" meme. The guy had a latent mental illness, and anything else is pure speculation. The NSA doesn't need to kill anyone to get what they want.

>ah, the government doesn't care about brainlet NEETs anyway
Then why are they trying to implement back doors into software and encryption if they don't care? Why are they monitoring everything everyone does if they don't care? Clearly they must care.

because they aren't. the government isn't the absolute power in the universe, you brainlet. there's not some Machiavellian grande scheme going on here. you're just making up excuses for your inadequacies because you're lazy.

The kernel is open source, just learn to code find the botnet and remove it. We check code for problems every day and remove it. You obviously don't know what you are talking about.
