@Tamamo @Halo @lapin Windows is not less secure because of how it is build but because how people use it. People install random software by searching them up on google which often gets either hijacked by clones in Ads or through SEO ranking. In Linux you almost never need to install anything from any website making the chance of any virus 0.

@DarkMahesvara @Tamamo @lapin
Soo.... Windows isn't even to blame in the virus argument it's the fact retarded people use it

@Halo @Tamamo @lapin Stupid stays stupid without education, yes.

@DarkMahesvara @Tamamo @lapin Linux is a far off goal then

@Halo @Tamamo @lapin At least as long as Microsoft and other Corpos lobby to keep there contracts with schools to keep children inside there ecosystem.

@DarkMahesvara @Tamamo @lapin
Still a no. Until the software used by schools is made for Linux they won't use Linux.
Same for companies.
Windows doesn't need to lobby anything, it's convenient and everyone knows how to us it. All software under the sun that's needed runs on it by default, there's 0 reason for people to switch (again unless they're some sort of tech/privacy enthusiast),

@Halo @Tamamo @lapin

>Until the software used by schools is made for Linux they won't use Linux

Plenty of alternatives already exist and if people would hold them responsibly to actually be there money worth they could change.

Google/Microsoft mail = self host

Calendar = self host

Zoom = bigbluebutton.org

Discord = Matrix/Element

[...]

Corpo reduce price/"donate" products and services in schools > Children only know Corpo product > Children grow up to be teacher/bosses and only use Corpo product > repeat

@DarkMahesvara @Halo @Tamamo @lapin There used to be a time when UNIX actually dominated the industry. Even Microsoft had their own UNIX. Then everyone switched to Windows when that came out. Strange.

@miria @DarkMahesvara @Tamamo @lapin that i did not know

@Halo @DarkMahesvara @Tamamo @lapin AT&T, one of the most powerful companies in the world at the time, holding a monopoly on communications. Everyone was using UNIX. It got taught in school, so "muh schools" doesn't work. And they had a hell of a lot more money than Microsoft.

@Halo @DarkMahesvara @Tamamo @lapin By the way, guess what the selling point of every OS trying to compete with UNIX was? Graphical user interface, not having to use the command line, etc.

@DarkMahesvara @Halo @Tamamo @lapin Also, Linux still does not have thumbnails in its file picker, something Windows has had since Windows 98.

@miria @Halo @Tamamo @DarkMahesvara @lapin Technically GTK does, but they're almost useless

I also made a custom picker program using pygtk without much effort, even though I don't really know python
