LInux or Windows?

I don't use Microsoft Windows if I can help it. Sometimes, it is necessary, but it is not my day-to-day operating system.

I switched to Mac OS, called OS X (that's a Roman numberal and is pronounced "ten") at the time. I used Mac OS until a little over a year ago when Apple dropped support for my computer. It was outdated, according to Apple, and needed to be replaced in order to get updates. As it works just fine, I didn't shell out over $1,000 for a new computer. Instead, I replaced the hard drive and put Linux on it. And I've been happy with it ever since. That is my primary laptop.

I'm a fan of Linux, and prefer it to Windows, and have had not trouble switching from Mac OS to Linux. But, we have Windows computers at work and I still have to deal with them. But even though I prefer Linux to Windows, mostly for security and privacy reasons, I understand that not everyone can make the switch to Linux.

When I saw a video from Britec about that very thing, I decided to share it here.

I still feel that for security and privacy, Windows is the worst choice of the four major operating systems. I feel Linux is the best, with Chrome OS and Mac OS both great on security but not so much on privacy.

My Streaming Life doesn't rely so much on computers, as I use streaming devices for the vast majority of my streaming, but I do feel very strongly about privacy and security. However, everyone must make the best choice for their circumstances.
