The control of the computer is getting shifted from you, who bought the computer, to the seller of the computer.
This should not happen.
You should be angry about this.
You should refuse to be controlled.
You should resist.
@iveyline@Em0nM4stodon You are so right. In the past we bought a computer and the softeare we used for our purposes. Now we don't own most software and are constantly manipulated and captured by big tech and subscriptions. We have lost control of our own space. Now we are force fed with stuff we don't want or need because so much is now subscription based and no longer owned and controlled by us.

@Iveyline @Em0nM4stodon Only if you let them.
There are many versions of Linux to choose from, some of which are easier to use than the mess that Windows and Mac have become.

@wyliecoyoteuk @Em0nM4stodon Which version on Linux would you recommend for a home user?
@Iveyline @Em0nM4stodon
Ubuntu, for an almost guaranteed easy to use desktop environment, with LibreOffice and other stuff pre-installed.
There are many different options, different OS bases, different desktop environments, etc., but to get up and running quickly, Ubuntu would be my preference.
