Linux never makes you do anything you don't want to do. That anyone uses anything else really surprises me.

- idiotsecant 5y agoPeople use windows because Windows does the things they need it to do, easily. The fact that that surprises you surprises me.
- fartcannon 5y agoYou'll be even more surprised to find out that you can do all that stuff easily without Windows!
- voldacar 5y agoA lot of the software bundled with most linux distros does though. Such as systemd.
- mahkoh 5y agosystemd respects the users freedoms: Freedom 0: The freedom to run the program for any purpose. Freedom 1: The freedom to study how the program works, and change it to make it do what you wish. Freedom 2: The freedom to redistribute and make copies so you can help your neighbour. Freedom 3: The freedom to improve the program, and release your improvements (and modified versions in general) to the public, so that the whole community benefits. As such it is impossible for systemd to make the user do anything. If it did, the user could simply modify the code and share his improvements with similarly minded individuals.
