    Sure, he could be using some Linux flavor, but what would he gain?

    A whole lot more privacy. Although that’s unfortunately not worth it for a lot of normies.

      IDK, if he’s going to use Chrome and Google Services regardless, does Linux really offer much more privacy?

      You can get a ton more privacy regardless of OS if you try, but if you just use the popular services, you can use the most locked down OS and you’ll still have privacy issues.

      So I’m not going to try to push Linux on people, I’m going to encourage privacy-oriented solutions. It’s much easier to get someone to change one service they use than to change operating systems, and the services are the more important part when it comes to privacy.
