kde plasma out of the box is so much better than windows 10. clicking the taskbar icons circles between windows of the same program!! plus just basic customisable shit like having the tray on both screens, and different scaling for different monitors. i didnt know computer life could be this beautiful

I will be starting a little linux propaganda campaign on my new blue sky account (I was never active on twitter but a bunch of cool people moved to bsky so I decided to give it a try).

If you have any advice regarding my semi-serious, semi-meme endeavor, I'd be happy to hear your thoughts.

--------------

My main talking points so far, are:

- Microsoft spies on you (possibly uses your data to train their AI)

- Microsoft forces people to buy new computers with their absurd hardware reqs for w11 (probably so their AI could work better and they could better spy on you) and throw away their old ones as if the e-waste problem wasn't already bad enough

- Microsoft is a monopoly and fuck that because at this point they don't care if their product is the best but rather that the customer doesn't know they have a choice

- knowing about tech is good (and cool) especially when rich people like to use it against you.

Target audience: online lefties

----------

So comment, reblog, send me asks or dm me if you have any suggestions regarding:

- talking points

- resources I could use/recommend to people

- tactics (what to do)

- design (if I am making any comics/drawings/memes/"posters" should I create some unique artstyle/design? Like what? Should I pick a color palette and stick to it?)

- approach (should I maybe be more like "come to the linux party we have cookies uwu" or "fuck microsoft, fuck google, eat the rich, shot the CEOs"? or both?)

Thanks to anyone who shares their thoughts. I may not respond immediately but every interaction is appreciated.

For all the folks wanting to jump off the Windows ship after the latest surveillance nightmare, you can test-drive many Linux distros right from your browser! Go to DistroSea, click on a distro that looks interesting, and you'll be added to a queue (usually less than a minute IME). Then just wait for it to boot up, and you have a running Linux instance in your browser window! Obviously you can't use this to install Linux on your computer, but it's useful for checking out the features of each distro and gettting the general vibe. Most of the distros I mentioned in my distro chooser post are featured here, so you can give them a peek. Go check it out!
