He is some influencer, dont you wanna be influenced by the video people?
Seriously though, Linux doesnt need this guy to speak for it. Its an amazing system. This guy just wants YouTube views. Whatever. :)
Without Linux, I cant imagine using a computer. Its like asking a big American corporation to allow me to log in, knowing its tracking everything i do. THAT is the insanity of using windows mate.
Sure. But you probably know that big tech companies like Microsoft and Google spies on their users using the operating system, and makes changes to those said operating systems in order to collect as much private data as possible.
Its a very big difference compared to using Linux. Sure, most of it is American companies. But you have a lot of choice in the Linux world. Its not the same. I think you know this? Otherwise you have a lot of good things to find out about. :)
Gentoo and Void are indeed my favourite Linux distributions. “No systemd” remains my favourite filter on Distrowatch. Void is basically “NetBSD, but fast”. I’d recommend it.
I actually had tried a few Linuxen in the past 30 years, and while I still have a soft spot for Gentoo and Void (edit: I love how everyone just ignores this part…), I noticed that Linux distributions have deeply fallen for over-engineering recently, making them not notably better than Windows anymore. Also, migrating from one US product to another makes limited sense to me.
Yes, I think so. But I’m always open to constructive feedback: What kind of product do you think an operating system kernel is, whose development is driven by a US citizen (Linus Torvalds) under the patronage of a US foundation (Linux Foundation) and with significant involvement of several US companies (Red Hat, Microsoft, NSA) and is usually delivered with a whole host of software from US organisations (foremost: GNU), if not a US product?
Yes, of course, Linux has developers from all sorts of countries. But then, so do Windows and macOS.
the us gov’t forced the linux kernel group to kick out its russian contributors that us gov’t considered problematic and it will happen again as more people try to contribute to linux and the us gov’t approve of them either.
You skipped my question. Let me repeat it: What kind of product do you think an operating system kernel is, whose development is driven by a US citizen (Linus Torvalds) under the patronage of a US foundation (Linux Foundation) and with significant involvement of several US companies (Red Hat, Microsoft, NSA) and is usually delivered with a whole host of software from US organisations (foremost: GNU), if not a US product?
That’s like saying you don’t like American cheese, so you won’t drive American cars. If you reduce operating systems to a handful of arbitrary traits this way, you may as well roll the dice and pick based on that.
I have no idea who that dude is. I won’t follow his example.

He used to review Android phones for one of the Android phone sites. I can’t remember if it was Android Police or 9To5 Android.
You are aware that, unlike (e.g.) OpenBSD, Linux is (legally) an American product, right?
Sure. But you probably know that big tech companies like Microsoft and Google spies on their users using the operating system, and makes changes to those said operating systems in order to collect as much private data as possible.

You have increasingly less choice in the Linux world though. Thank you, Lennart Poettering.
Heh, true. But even systemd is a choice, kind of. Even though it brings the number of distributions to maybe just a few.
I wanted to try these ones at some point, seems nice:
https://artixlinux.org/
https://voidlinux.org/
Wait what is the problem with systemd?
Gentoo and Void are indeed my favourite Linux distributions. “No systemd” remains my favourite filter on Distrowatch. Void is basically “NetBSD, but fast”. I’d recommend it.
Any reasons you don’t want to try? Just curious.
I think they mean they already use linux. Or Unix.
Unix.

Microsoft and Apple are subject to US authority. Linux is not.
the us gov’t forced the linux kernel group to kick out its russian contributors that us gov’t considered problematic and it will happen again as more people try to contribute to linux and the us gov’t approve of them either.
How exactly are the US-based stewards of Linux development not subject to US authority?
How are they?

I think that the first part of my comment was the more relevant part.
