After catching up to this newfangled recall controversy, it’s some pretty harrowing stuff that makes me NOT wanna go from Windows 10 at all.

So the big question is, will this be the nail in the bill gates coffin of people adopting mainstream distros of Linux like Mint and Ubuntu? It might not jive with the “normie” folks who just use it for browsing etc, but more online orientated people like you and I.

I am surprised with this security worry hasn’t made people advertise Linux more publicly to the mainstream.

And lastly, MS surely is going to backstop on this right? Between the Xbox fiasco and this, its just damaging their PR optics even further.

What do you think? Will it actually push the Linux train wagon? Will Microsoft just continue this fat mess anyway?

    I tried Linux as a daily driver for a couple months last year. I distro hopped quite a bit in that time and ended up settling on Manjaro. It was a pretty good experience over all, the only reason I switched back is because I couldn’t get mods to work with Guild Wars 2 without crashes, but every other game I played worked fine and I don’t really play GW2 anymore. So when support for 10 drops next year, I’ll probably go back to Manjaro.
