Reading about FOSS philosophy, degoogling, becoming against corporations, and now a full-blown woke communist (like Linus Torvalds)

I thought I’ll make this thread for all of you out there who have questions but are afraid to ask them. This is your chance!...

I get that it’s open source provided you use codium not code but I still find that interesting

I’m helping a family member build a pc. He wanted to use Windows because “Linux can’t play games” despite me having a perfectly good gaming laptop running Linux that runs all my games, even graphically intensive ones....

What caused you to get into it, are you an evangel and are you obsessed?

I’ve been on Wayland for the past two years exclusively (Nvidia)....
