It's a sign that you need to give up and switch to Windows.

If they're really using Unix desktops, there's nothing to fret about, as proprietary malware is the complete opposite of cool.
My thinkpad desktop is the coolest - it's stock xfce4 with only free software installed on the machine (including the BIOS).

@icedquinn
I'm disgusted that you would recommend such malware even as a joke.
@icedquinn @Suiseiseki @alyx lol no, it used to have bad memory leakage but it runs good now
@psyops @Suiseiseki @alyx i thought about trying plasma again but the thing with gnome and plasma is they trigger me with how much ram they use for what little need them to do
@icedquinn @Suiseiseki @alyx yeah not sure why that is, I'm an xfce4 enjoyer, buts its ultimately what youre comfortable with
@icedquinn @Suiseiseki @alyx @psyops I used to use plasma but then my "software ecosystem" senses went off so I panicked and returned to xfce.
@dhfir @Suiseiseki @alyx @psyops i3-gaps and sway are not so bad but in the days where i used renoise it eats the hotkeys and music software in general tends to want to make floating windows in general

@dhfir @icedquinn @Suiseiseki @alyx @psyops Don’t ever try Gnome then. They’ve actually been taking over certain libre desktop programs to integrate into their ‘software ecosystem’.

@icedquinn The Cinnamon DE is indeed free software, but that needs to run on an OS.
I'm guessing that you use Mint GNU/Linux, which isn't Unix (as that's a trademark that requires payment and certification), but such is Unix-like.
The standard version of Linux contains proprietary software, which makes it malware.
Mint also offers malware for download in the package repositories without even warning the users properly (I'm pretty sure it's just a single nonfree switch that then enables everything no matter what the actual proprietary license is).
