  • Don’t Google and Facebook (and maybe Redhat?) also contribute a lot to open source software? I get that stuff like chromium and android is open source but not really free as in freedom but you can’t deny they do contribute somewhat.

    Genuinely interested in what people think about, maybe I’m not seeing the whole picture.

    You’re right, no one cares what other people use, but comparing a debloated Windows install with a proper Linux install is just dumb. A debloated Windows install will never be “perfect” or exist without Microsoft bullshit it literally depends on most of it. And I’m not bashing debloating of Windows here. It’s a fair choice if you have to use Windows and want a bit more of a lightweight experience. Personally I use Linux to use more FOSS software, tiling window managers and having in general a better idea of how my system works. And yes you’re right that that’s not for everyone but all I’m saying is that there should be an option besides amputating a shitty anti-consumer OS. At this point people are comfortable using a borked version of an OS whose main business strategy has become collection of personal data.
