1. It feels great
2. Terminal programs run on a potato
3. They are almost always way more powerful then their GUI counterparts
4. They integrate with scripts and other tools for unlimited power and flexibility!
5. You feel like a hacker man
6. Your IT literate friends think you are cool
7. You can really do things your own way

So yeah I love using the terminal for almost everything

Yeah no. Smartphones have ruined our mental health and privacy enough I can't even imagine what an implant would do to us.

But at that point as much as I hate to say it you're probably better off with a cheap windows laptop.

As at least you can get updates till the hardware no longer supports it.

That's a lot less wasteful then making something and planning when it won't work anymore.

It all depends on the licence. Even if you buy something on physical media you may not technically own it. If something has a FOSS licence MIT, BSD, GPL, etc Then yes you do own your copy and no one can change that.

You can download offline installers that don't require an internet or licence key to install, so if you back them up I'd say you own them to the same degree you'd own a game on optical media

I wouldn't buy a Chromebook, but at least they let you use non web apps on it.

I still don't get why every Chromebook has a preset expiration date for when it will stop getting updates. That really seems like a great way to make lots of ewaste. Especially since they lock down the bootloader so well.

As much as I don't like epic mega games as a game company I don't think a company should get a cut of every purchase made in an app on their platform. Sure if you want to use googles or apples payment gateway, but you shouldn't have too.

Lolcat, yt-dlp, hyprland. Honesty though most of what I find cool these days wouldn't make any sense to a Windows user. Like DWM, ST, XBPS, lf, ly, neovim, etc.

How are you supposed to train the dam thing to detect something without using that thing though?

I mean Linux is for everyone. But I think the majority of users are probably straight males. I think the trans/fem boy stereotype is more of a community inside joke( not to say there aren't people of those demographics in the community, and that they aren't just as welcome as anyone else, but the joke being that Linux will make you trans/a fem boy).

Though I have seen legit trans people like you say they enjoy Linux so it could interestingly be a demographic that is particularly attracted to Linux for whatever reason.

On a different note how do these big companies train AI's to detect CSAM without using a bunch of illegal CSAM to train it?
