Vs dog crap windows..im curious.

My friend wants to go linux because he hates Microsoft but im worried he will have issues and hes not very techy. Mostly he uses it for a daw, and a lot of that stuff is not compatible with linux. An older MacBook would work better for him I think...he wants to be more privacy conscious but hes not crazy about it.

The majority of “people” here quite obviously know nothing and yet are happy parroting armchair hearsay for back pats from their fellow inbred reactionaries.

The legit comments mention specific customizations like

  • lulu
  • littlesnitch
  • lockdown mode
  • advanced data protection

The rest are chuckle fucks.

He wants to be more privacy conscious but he’s not crazy about it

Then yeah, an older Mac would work just fine.

If there are security experts in the fediverse, they definitely aren't in this community.

I may not be one, but I'm somewhat knowledgeable in terms of being intentional with data leakage. That's just me being a Linux user and FOSS guru at that.

Yeah many haven’t moved from R yet. And I get it. They have stuff to do IRL and the key benefit they receive contributing is exposure, so they’ll stick to publishing and maybe R and SO.

We do have some well-informed posters but there appears to be an inverse relationship between expertise and posting frequency.

Also, sorry this community is so shitty right now. Anyone can comment here and there’s no quality control, so unless your questions are sufficiently technical-sounding enough to scare away the morons, or you’re asking about specific Linux distro comparisons, you will not get any nuance here, and the high quality contributions will all be buried by these lead-brained conspiracy theorists and reactionary simpletons.
