You’re not running away from a mainstream digital life by buying a different computer, that’s just FUD. I’m nearly all Linux run and this has not decreased my ability to have a mainstream digital life…whatever those qualifications are, which seem to be specifically tied to software Apple allows you to use. These companies only want you to think life will be worse off by not buying their products.

Meanwhile in the real world, my brilliant friend, who cares about privacy, called me in a panic because she couldn't work out how to shift/right-click a video in her browser to download it to her hard drive, and you believe Linux is a viable alternative to the vast majority of ordinary people?

I never suggested that.
