there are too many linux users for that to be viable. any operation that could watch every machine running linux would be at the same order of magnitude to scale to monitor everyon-

im just saying because of special treatment for linux users all windows "nothing to hide" fags should now move to linux for better NSA experience™.

>>54200793
I don't care about the NSA spying on me, I have no intention of harming any government or society or even doing anything of any significance with my life.

I do care about shitty corporations trying to data mine me, and the horrible security flaws that permeate the Windows experience.

Nigger, the NSA is tapped into the backbone of the internet.Why the fuck would a users OS have any impact on the data they send and receive? Literally everything you do is being recorded. If anything, the NSA has probably targeted you for being a retard.

this is B8, program support is good, and even if something doesnt support linux directly theres always a way to run it.

every well known distro and little distros based off biger distros have forums specifically for helping you if theres something they missed in their handbook or documentation

This is incorrect. Linux do not work with the NSA thus there would be no software installed to allow them access to you computer. Yeas the NSA could pay attention to Linux users web browsing but that is it, nothing else. Microsoft allowed the NSA to build backdoors within the windows systems.. this begun in 1999.

I'm not even from the U.S.A., why should I care?

And how would they know that I am using a Linux system?

>>54203564

>>54203561
NSA already has backdoors built into firmware and CPUs. You're living an illusion of privacy if you are using linux specifically for that.
>>

because you're shit at masking your data

My profile is probably essentially a backup archive of furry, pregnant or fart porn at this point. I'm not proud of it, but if the gov't has archived my internet life, I might as well fess up.

Nigga, here in Brazil feds only care about terrorism, CP and
larceny. I don't do any of these things, so whatever.
I can deface a government's website without a VPN and I wouldn't be arrested.

>no drivers
Fucking Linux drivers dont work properly. I only managed to get working drivers with Debian and Fedora, while every other distro couldn't even handle moving windows without tearing. I am not going to rebuild drivers just becuase Linux is shit
>no software
Yes there might be software but it as absolute shit. The program's might work for the basics but lack a lot of features their propetiary equals have. Don't fucking give me the Wine excuse, you know Wine works well with minimal programs but can't handle more intensive programs.
>no support
The linux community are fucking pretentious shits. That fact there are forums doesn't aid on bit, all OS have forums that doesn't make Linux special.

It's been over from the start, dear Anon.

It's true though. From the Snowden leaks: http://www.eweek.com/security/linux-lands-on-nsa-watch-list.html

Not the same anon, and I knew the NSA watches linux users, but they also watch everyone else just as closely.

Not true though.

>all of this "I have nothing to hide"
Holy shit this place sucks. If you still don't understand why "I have nothing to hide" is a retarded thing to say, you are willfully ignorant.
>>
>>54204008
Are you a criminal, Anon?
>>
>>54203972

Fair enough, but the NSA's goal is to monitor everyone and everything. I suppose that it makes sense people who use Linux are more likely to be interested in technology, and therefore are a greater 'threat' than the vast population.
>>
>>54203614
Are you genuinely crazy? do you honestly believe that every single different company that makes CPU's and firmware would allow the NSA to build backdoors within them? Not every single computer company are USA owned and 99.9% of the parts are constructed in China. Wake up and use logic!
>>

This.

Yeah, so maybe ARM cpus don't have back doors, this doesn't do much for the other 89% of computers that have intel shit in them.

Microsoft do not own Intel and not every CEO is as corrupt as Bill Gates. Don't believe this fool people there are no NSA backdoors in CPU's. Many top hackers use intel processors and are still free today.

That's where you're wrong, Linux is indeed almost two orders of magnitude smaller.
