You can send this video to your normie friends to try to convert them over. We go over the spyware, ads, speed, and security. Hop on board the Linux Train: https://privacyfreedom.net/w/7qXRdyg7CJEjk7gZ6V1VPN

alpha-male Linux

Too much andrew tate? This sounds too cringe to be honest. I would not send this to any normie because they will think its for idiots like andrew tate or smth.

EDIT: The video is kindof good but its hard to watch because it constantly stops for 20seconds to load.

This is possibly the worst thing I've seen all day: confusing pacing, the person doing the voiceover sounds like they're taking the piss, weird manosphere alt right language, misleading information (or just presented poorly). This qualifies as a shitpost you pass around a chat server not a serious PSA.

Don't take this personally, but I recommend deleting this and redoing everything. Advocating for the GNU/Linux operating system requires that you have a level of self respect and decorum with your work. Using bait isn't helping anyone.

When are people going to stop treating operating systems like religions? You don't have to try and convert everyone you come across.

Video keeps stopping, worse website ever!

Probably a Linux server running the site.

Most servers in the world run on Linux

Uhhh...

You know what, i just take that as a joke...

Im wanting my friends to try out linux, they are all windows normies. This is pretty aggressive approach. I applaud the enthusiasm, maybe there are some people who respond. Id try my own way by finding a distro that best suited to their use case. All an all, someone is doing linux spreading to the masses and at least we can call that a win.

Wish I could switch to Linux but there are several issues in my use case that make it (currently) impossible. :(
