I thought Canonical got on board with spying ages ago. May I do not recall correctly.

I was probably too poor to afford a computer that long ago, or at least to poor to be choosy about wjat I bought.

Indeed. For many applucations AMD is fine. I think there might be some issues if one wants to do CAD engineering.

Yep, and it uses literally less than half of the resouces to sit and do nothing as Windows does.

I too have thought about the malicious side of things. It will be an issue as the marketshare for malware grows with the Linux base. The difference is, we have an open source community and people who can see the issues in the source code. If we all stay with open source and call out the trickery, the noobs will rally along with us. Also, if one distro becomes unsafe, we can move to another.

I have not had much trouble gaming on Arch Linix with Hyprland. That is a fairly tough combo in the Linix world and I still have not run into as much trouble. Honestly, the gaming is not worth it. Between console and Linux I can do whatever I want. My last windows machine is going to be replaced as soon as I have time to do it.

AMD is better than NVidia, just because AMD did not spend years screwing the Linux community out of drivers. I do not need that additional bajillisecond of speed that I do not notice anyways just to use NVidia’s bullshit. Seeing Linus Torvalds flip off NVidia with a very public “fuck you” is one of the most satisfying things I have ever seen. NVidia can eat a dick!

Why does everyone dislike snap? I just didn’t want to use Canonical products, but I was unaware that others didn’t like it.
