Privacy oriented users are already using Linux.
- dymk 2y agoAs a desktop operating sytem? Not the ones that value their time.
- shmerl 2y agoYes, as a desktop operating system. Nothing else respects privacy really that would require less time. Or may be you have a suggestion?
- hhh 2y agomacOS
- shmerl 2y agoNah, why would you trust Apple - they see you as a product they want to lock-in.
- dymk 2y agoHow does macOS not respect your privacy? Be specific.
- shmerl 2y agoApple is a heavily lock-in oriented company with ulterior motives and macOS is filled with DRM to boot. That's poorly compatible with the concept or privacy by definition.

It is only possible for photos to resurface because they were stored in iCloud for months or maybe years essentially in spite of user intention for those photos to be deleted.

- eilefsen 2y agowould you say windows respects the users time? that's just not my experience. linux is far more convenient for me.
- Toutouxc 2y agoI can think of exactly four non-IT people in my life who don't run Windows, all of them are family members and I personally talked them into Macs. In my social bubble, no one runs [desktop] Linux. No one knows Linux. No one cares about Linux.
- shmerl 2y agoAbove was about people who care about privacy though. It's not that surprising, but most people don't care about it to the degree that would make them use OSes that respect it. People who actually care tend to use Linux since they have an obvious reason.
