    It’s funny how my opinion of this really is:

    Linux > Only using a smartphone (GrapheneOS) > Only using a smartphone (LineageOS) > Only using a smartphone (ARM Linux) > Literally not having a computer at all > Returning to the woods and living completely off-grid for the rest of my sorry days > Screaming into the void hoping it claims me > Chromebook > Mac > Windows

    I just did Linux/Chromebook(derogatory)/Mac/Windows but it really didn’t capture my disdain for the last 3 enough

      I’d swap the chromebook and mac at the end there. The ewaste that is a chromebook is at best a glorified netbook, the macs at least have some decent hardware options that can be leveraged.

        To be fair, part of this is my own experience. I’ve owned a Chromebook (still have it… Somewhere?), and know how it works. I’ve never once touched a Mac xD

      Returning to the woods and living completely off-grid for the rest of my sorry days Screaming into the void hoping it claims me

      To be fair, these are great options…

        The Void already has claims to all of us. The Void actually enjoys and needs the screaming, so it’ll be patient and wait until your warranty runs out; when your particular version stops getting patches and reaches EOL.

        When that happens, it’ll welcome you, and you’ll get sent to /dev/random instead of the recycle bin or the trash can.

        Note: You’ll have to wait for enough entropy in order to get to your next destination. How long that takes depends on how many people are screaming into the void at that time 🤷
