The likelihood that windows doesn’t have a back door for the US government is irrelevant.

No windows user can guarantee every part of their OS is clean.

Linux users have the advantage of Open Source.

If you run Linux, you can audit the code. Can’t do that for windows.

    Nice... So anyone with any dignity won't tolerate being spied on. Only cattle and sheep get subjected to this abuse. Checks out.

    Switched to Linux due to being treated like cattle by windows.
