Spending time thinking about which distro to use is time that could have been spent learning how Linux works as a whole.

There is more functional democracy in China with its one-party socialist state than there is in the US’s two-party capitalist democracy.

The idea that the number of parties impacts the people’s will and ability to enact change is complete fantasy celebrated by those who mindlessly fetishize democracy.

Killing Nazis is a Soviet thing. In the US, we hire them for important government jobs and fold them into our culture.

The idea that you’re not interested in being called out is not unusual.

You have a bone to pick with Proton. It is evident as you’ve singled them out without mentioning this is industry standard. You have a problem with the VPN industry that you are solely blaming Proton for in your post title.

You are a weird little agitator and deserve many more ad hominems. Get wrecked.

Complete bullshit by a trolling OP. Israel is cancer, but OP is doing an obvious smear on Proton to try to agitate leftists. Case in point: Mullvad and most other VPNs have exit nodes in Israel.

It is a dumbfuck corporate decision that has absolutely no more bearing on your VPN’s privacy than routing through the US or Australia. You are truly completely confused.

Also “its” doesn’t have an apostrophe when used as a possessive, you fucking idiot.

This is it. The most boomer-ass comment of 2026 so far.

Take this moment in, folks.

Were you hoping for a forum where people didn’t call you out on your nonsense?

This reads like someone who was born after the CRT era trying to describe them. No, you’re just wrong about that. CRT monitors had a huge effect on the output of the visuals in contrast with modern screens.

Capitalists use fascism to defend democracy from communism.

Are you a bot?

Are you serious? Mozilla gets almost a billion dollars a year from Google. Stop posting if you are this clueless.

The problem with political studies is that they’re nonscientific. It’s a blog post they’re calling a study. No amount of statistical analysis or clever methodology makes this a proper study because it’s based on political opinions. A terrible, ignorant set of opinions at that.

“But isn’t Marxism a study of politics?!” No, it’s a body of works in economics and historical analysis, not wayward political opinions.

Sinophobia will get you nowhere. Those “Chinese State Actors” on the Fediverse are largely Western crackers who read theory and oppose Imperialism. You shouldn’t bogeyman an entire nation you don’t know anything about, this is xenophobic and also works against the working class.

Yes. You’re the person we’re making fun of. We get it. You need not keep reminding us how awkward, obnoxious, and oblivious you are.

The alligators from UO. I hear them everywhere.

I love how you respond to a guy going “people are pricks about bike pricing” with an “ackshulaly $2k is cheap”.

Zero self-awareness. Zero social skills.

As someone who likes X11, Wayland works fine. To say it has so many things wrong is a self report. People like you make shit up about Wayland because you had some unrelated issue years ago. Just give a rest.

Who the fuck is dual booting for Office? You just made that up.

Based on what you’re saying, I don’t feel like you know enough about the subject matter to be forming such strong opinions.

You have no idea what went wrong yet seem confident what made things break. You are, simply put, hopelessly clueless, as evidenced by how you arbitrarily combine distros, desktops, and window managers when describing your issues. A more astute user would account for such obvious variables before jumping to conclusions.

Wayland is not responsible for the issues you’re describing. You’re just woefully stubborn and unwilling to be wrong. It’s fucking embarrassing and if you weren’t completely mentally spent, you would feel shame.
