Soooo, after raising my issue regarding microsoft's massive invasion of privacy and removing control from the user a couple of my friends, ahem I mean "aquaintances", said this to me:
"Get a mac! So clean, lightweight and user friendly and won't spy on you".

Clearly people who never looked at their list of background processes and installed little snitch. I swear, every couple of minutes something is trying to phone home to Apple.

Now I've been pretty open to all platforms (Win/Mac/*NIX/misc) until recently but this has reached a point it is no longer funny.

When I get a moment I'm gonna shove linux so far up that machine's arse Steve Jobs is gonna feel it in the ether!

    I find it ruthless that you still have to pay for Windows, and get all the ads and constant tracking... Soon in your stores: windows premium subscription: control windows the way we want you to, at a great price!

    But never found a distro that is visually appealing and functional as I want either...

    @moars42 cheers! I'll check this out :)

    @neoanderson I did use elementary at some time, liked it a lot, but in the end bugged and became unusable :( was using it for some PHP development with vagrant and PHPStorm, I must have messed folder perms (amongst other shenanigans I made) because everything became unstable and had to restart Elementary multiple times in a row... Is it hard to have something nice looking and stable?

    Just curious. How are you logged on to DevRant? I'm assuming phones with custom ROMs or desktops running Linux distros?

    @Phlisg yeah I believe it's still in beta or alpha 😕 seems like they're spending more time in design than stability

    I have learned by hanging out in Linux forums and reading books. I'm sure you'd find some videos if you did a search @w0lfgrl
