Is Linux a dirty communist's operating system?
>>
Yes, it does not allow good american companies to collect credit card information, social security number and other info for easy tracking. Also it let's people control their computers, which should not be happening in this day and age.

I'd just like to interject for a moment. What you're referring to as Linux, is in fact, GNU/Linux, or as I've recently taken to calling it, GNU plus Linux. Linux is not an operating system unto itself, but rather another free component of a fully functioning GNU system made useful by the GNU corelibs, shell utilities and vital system components comprising a full OS as defined by POSIX.

Many computer users run a modified version of the GNU system every day, without realizing it. Through a peculiar turn of events, the version of GNU which is widely used today is often called "Linux", and many of its users are not aware that it is basically the GNU system, developed by the GNU Project.

There really is a Linux, and these people are using it, but it is just a part of the system they use. Linux is the kernel: the program in the system that allocates the machine's resources to the other programs that you run. The kernel is an essential part of an operating system, but useless by itself; it can only function in the context of a complete operating system. Linux is normally used in combination with the GNU operating system: the whole system is basically GNU with Linux added, or GNU/Linux. All the so-called "Linux" distributions are really distributions of GNU/Linux.

If by Linux you mean distros and not the kernel, then
>free software
>made by the people for the people
>if you're not worthless, you can contribute too
I mean I guess that's right, in a wrong sort of way.
>implying Windows and Mac aren't more authoritarian than Linux

If you're not a gamer, there is no reason you shouldn't be using a Linux distro.

If you are a gamer, you run Windows x64 for gaming, and hopefully a separate computer running Linux for everything else.

Also, how are you guys not using the only /pol/ approved operating system, TempleOS?

It's the only non-degerate, Christian OS that you can find and a much better alternative to Linux or Microsoft.

Why do you hate freedom OP?

>>66530193
Linux gives the individual freedom over their distribution. So basically the opposite of communism.

Two of my computers run Windows because of my preferred DAW. The third is a dual boot, Windows for vidya (that I haven't logged onto in over a month), and Mint KDE because I like plasma but am lazy.
