      This. Also, get a VPN service, like Nord that’s preferably not based in the US. Also, Microsoft is literally installing spyware on your computer already. (CoPilot and Recall). They would have NO problems turning over your computer data to the Trump regime on their whims.

      I mean, sure, in terms of OS choice.

      I think there are some other decisions that give it a run for its money if you don’t limit the scope to computing, though.

      While true, desktops and laptops mean nothing now. Most people dont even have anything other than a phone.

      If youre using android or ios, youre not private and you are being tracked 24/7.

      Sadly my s23 only runs android and Linux phones aren’t good enough yet.

        I don’t even do email on my phone. I like the large monitor that doesn’t require glasses to see. Two monitors even.

        I derive no joy from watching video on a phone.
