People seem fed up with a multi-trillion dollar company&#39;s latest extortion scheme. Great, now is the time to start looking for alternatives! Most open operating systems are actually more usable and user-centric than the commercial ones ❤️ Look around, plenty of amazing OSes by amazing people: @fedora, @vanillaos, @elementary and many more. Finding the one you love is actually fun. You can even buy a laptop preinstalled if you don&#39;t want to deal with installation!

@lobau@noodle.social @fedora@fosstodon.org @vanillaos@fosstodon.org @elementary@mastodon.social Good to see that the big "we believe in data privacy and AI safety" thing was a smokescreen for "we have plenty of more lucrative ways to squeeze creators"

@lobau@noodle.social Tagging @linuxmint@mastodon.social because I am incredibly biased.

@lobau@noodle.social @fedora@fosstodon.org @vanillaos@fosstodon.org @elementary@mastodon.social Why these "Most open operating systems are actually more usable and user-centric than the commercial ones" only have <2% of the market share while less usable paid ones have 98%?
