Why advocate Linux

<TEX> Linux to me is about being able to own a PC that is Secure and not full of Back Doors for outsiders to steal information from you and sell it across the Globe

<greg> because windows is war, slavery and ignorance, linux is peace, freedom and strength

Because ordinary, normal people shouldn't have to put up with reboots, crashes, reinstallations, spyware, adware, ransomware, break-ins, trojan horses, backdoors, worms, viruses, administrative headaches, call-home data, extreme slowness, being afraid of their computer or feeling guilty for having too many windows open or being made to feel stupid because Windows was designed poorly (assuming it was designed at all) and written equally poorly or many, many other problems with Microsoft Windows. — Tom
