@davidgerard on Mastodon: "you can annoy the annoying linux users back by detailing at them how chromebooks are linux winning on the desktop, they even run the android distro by far the most popular linux distro in emulation, why do you hate freedom".

It's funny how my opinion of this really is:

Linux > Only using a smartphone (GrapheneOS) > Only using a smartphone (LineageOS) > Only using a smartphone (ARM Linux) > Literally not having a computer at all > Returning to the woods and living completely off-grid for the rest of my sorry days > Screaming into the void hoping it claims me > Chromebook > Mac > Windows

I just did Linux/Chromebook(derogatory)/Mac/Windows but it really didn't capture my disdain for the last 3 enough

    Returning to the woods and living completely off-grid for the rest of my sorry days Screaming into the void hoping it claims me

    To be fair, these are great options…

    The Void already has claims to all of us. The Void actually enjoys and needs the screaming, so it'll be patient and wait until your warranty runs out; when your particular version stops getting patches and reaches EOL.

    When that happens, it'll welcome you, and you'll get sent to /dev/random instead of the recycle bin or the trash can.

    Note: You'll have to wait for enough entropy in order to get to your next destination. How long that takes depends on how many people are screaming into the void at that time 🤷

    I’d swap the chromebook and mac at the end there. The ewaste that is a chromebook is at best a glorified netbook, the macs at least have some decent hardware options that can be leveraged.
