          What is delusional about the fact that not pumping your info to m$ and their partners is unquestionably more secure?

    none. it has tons of backdoors, and every single website knows youre using linux because of javascript and/or user agents. and when they know youre on linux, youre singled out. because now youre part of a marketshare that's less than 1%, and that makes it incredibly easy for each and every actor, including agencies, to track the absolute frick out you
    anonymity with technology is a myth. there is only obscurity. and you get obscurity by blending in

      No one is trying to hide from governments. I just despise my useage being tracked, keystrokes logged and telemetry. No connections to M$hit is a good day. No connections to Google makes a good day better. Not being part of the botnet with linux and a degoogled phone is freedom.

      Do you really think there’s someone or a program at Google or Facebook sifting through checking to see if you’re on Linux or not and if so to ramp up their tracking? What would be gained by wasting resources like that, anyway? Why wouldn’t they already be at the legal ceiling for tracking for all users (mainstream os or Linux)? They’re also not just gonna hire human feds to track literally who Linux users just because they’re connecting through a linux device.
      >it has tons of backdoors
      Ok, prove it.

        everyone gets tracked hard. They don't ramp up their efforts for linux, it's just that it's not that common - so probably easier to separate you from the few other linux users

            I use linux, opnsense, piholes, openwrt. All to keep as much privacy as I possibly can. You are kinda weird.

    none
    you are 0.01% of users and are thus insanely easy to identify and track based on geolocation alone
    even if you're ANONEMOOSE your ISP sells all your data to the FBI and they can instantly smell the neckbeard from your IP address because your useragent pops up as LOONIX for every website you visit and popos can pinpoint with 99.9999% accuracy that it was you that visited that troony beastiality dilation website

      explain to me how anyone could build a profile of me based off of HTTPS webpage name(s) and my OS?
      Things to go right:
      >User not using VPN
      >someone at isp sees user using Linux and decides to sell their data to the fbi as a result of their OS choice
      (no one looks and unlikely respectively)
      >ISP sells data to gov agency
      (extremely unlikely even with random Linux users as targets)
      >Some agent actually bothers to check what domain names random user connected to
      Yeah ok, that’s totally likely and something to be concerned about!
