Now that Pewdiepie has joined club penguin (linux), there is only one option left for the wokes

I really do not like that guy

I am giving up Rust, and will only program in Holy C from now on. Blessed is God's operating system!

I never bothered asking this question cause I'm not a nerd: But what makes Linux "better" than the alternatives?
- Everything stems back to that it is open source; meaning you, the user, have control over the software that runs on your system, not some corporation.
  There are thousands of other benefits that result from that.
  Don't like the way some piece of software works? Fix, fork, or replace the project.
  The software ecosystem on Linux has virtually no spyware or adware outside cross-platform apps from big tech companies, so you don't need to do dozens of workarounds just to prevent your system from narcing on you to the NSA.
  Given that CPU cycles aren't being wasted on shit that benefits corporations like adware and telemetry, your system will probably run a lot faster on Linux.
  There isn't really a single piece of software that makes Linux better; it is the fact that GPL licensing makes it too toxic for corporations to build their make adware platforms on.
  On Windows, MacOS, iOS, or Android, you can generally assume any software with internet permission is pretty much spyware. Linux software is generally built to work offline unless it must interface with remote servers for its functionality.
  
  hmm, yes I see, of course......what's a fork?
- There's the whole open source thing. Linux is built for anyone in the world to use and for anyone in the world to help build it. (There's some weird issues with US sanctions that effect how much Russians can do, but they can contribute).
  Beyond this, the main advantages are:
  Better than Mac OS: runs on other, cheaper, hardware
  Better than windows: no shitty ads or AI and feels much more responsive
  Better than other open source OS: it's complicated, but basically Linux is bigger so it has more people working on it, and more support for hardware.
- Out of all the Free Software operating systems, Linux has the greatest hardware support (by a longshot). At times, it has even had better support for consumer hardware than Windows (e.g. when Microsoft changed the driver architecture with the introduction of Windows Vista, a lot of old drivers never got ported, or with the introduction of the TPM requirement, a lot of CPUs are no longer officially supported in W11 - though they can be made to work with third-party hacks). This is the primary reason why it is the most popular. It is the only alternative operating system that you can install on just about anything and have good chances of it working. There are other alternatives like FreeBSD/OpenBSD, but you need to start being a bit more discerning about which hardware you purchase when running these, and you may still forgo some modern niceties, like robust Bluetooth support.
- At this point, inertia.
  Most of the experience you can get in Linux you can get in several other systems (i. e. the BSDs or Solaris derivatives) but 90% of the time, Linux will have the broadest hardwsre and niche softwsre supoort.
  It's likely that affordable PC Unix would have ended up based on BSD had there been less of a legal fracas around the codebase at just the moment Linux hit the scene.

The dev of temple os threw slurs around like crazy. I wouldn't call him woke.
- we have no choice but to log off

TempleOS is a brilliant project for just one dude, and I feel really bad for the dev. Untreated mental illness sucks ass.

Praise be to the RNG, but we still have plenty of increasingly niche options of operating systems. The more people use Linux, the more my hipster ass is drawn to BSD
- Why use BSD though?
  Seems like the only real benefits are better docs and hardening for some stuff. But those come with so many compromises given how few things are built for BSDs.
  
  Microkernels are probably a better design, but not better enough to overcome inertia/better support/bigger user base
  
  It was just a joke about wanting to be different
