As I mentioned in another thread, I have been away from Linux for quite a while, mostly because of work. But the more I've been away, the more I've realized what I've been missing: freedom. I don't want my OS to force software on me. I don't want to be forced to upgrade when I don't want to. I don't want to be worried that my OS is spying on me.
I want an OS that gets out of the way and minimizes its presence. With Mac and Windows, all I get is a nanny OS that keeps deciding what's good for me.
No thanks. As an adult, I know what file download is good for me, what software will make me more productive, and when I should install updates.
That freedom is what Linux means to me
