I did. I don't see how Linux Mint changes anything I said though.

Any OS is resistant if you disable the usb ports but other than that there is not much you can do. Just dont plug in random cables or usb sticks into your computer

A terminal file manager like ranger is pretty useful

This gets posted like once per week and this is inaccurate as shit.

"Wayland is bad, it can't run xorg programs"

Ok but there is an exact copy of the program that is made for Wayland. It's the same argument that Windows users use to discredit Linux .

"Linux is bad because it can't run programs that were made for Windows"

My favorite part is where he admits to being mad without even knowing what Wayland is.

Edit: When I wrote the above, I didn't really realize what Wayland even was, I just noticed that some distributions (like Fedora) started pushing it onto me and things didn't work properly there.

I'm European. My whole family (except me) uses iMessage and all my friends use iMessage or Facebook messenger. Its a problem here too.

I agree with you, but as always its not that simple. For a lot of people all their friends use iMessage and refuse to use anything else because "it's what I already use". When you have a PlayStation and all your friends use Xbox, then being able to talk to them despite the security implications becomes quite an attractive feature.

Someone is mad that GNOME got a 1 000 000 € grant from the government and is blaming trans people

History and cookies are not generally a security vulnerability. Cookies can be a vulnerability but only if the hacker gets access to your device somehow, either by stealing it or through a virus for example. You don't really have to worry about cookies or history for security reasons, only privacy reasons.

I had a surface pro 4 with Linux for several years. The install process is a bit annoying since you need to get the custom surface kernel but other than that it worked great. I had a lot of issues with the hardware (unrelated to Linux), but I've heard that it has gotten better with the newer versions

Who cares? She obviously has the qualifications and competence so what does it matter if she is into herbs and shit?
