    Windows NEVER meant freedom.

    Noped out right away.

    Not the video for those of us who have been around for long enough to remember all the shit MS pulled trying to kill Linux off.

        Correct, I did not watch the video because the first premise the video offered is untrue. I don’t mean to poo-poo you sharing Linux stuff, and if this video gets more people onto Linux, great.

        But like I said, it is not for those of us who have been here for a very long time screaming about how important it is to control your OS if you want to own your computer.

      .ml and immediately running from an opinion that slightly differs from their’s, with pseudo-intellectual elitism thrown in.

      Good meme

        The history of Microsoft creating backdoors in windows predates XP. While Windows XP is most certainly not as evil as Win10, it certainly never meant “freedom”. Nor did 95, NT or even 3.1. Other than the backdoors, windows has always been closed source. Nothing free about it.

        The fact that the youtube person assumed the opposite strongly affects her credibility. Windows backdoors have been a common topic since the 90’s.
