LINUX NEWB PAGE

Several of my friends have been asking about Linux lately. In the past it was mainly just an idle curiosity, but now it is a serious alternative to Windows. In the past Linux was aimed mainly at geeks and was difficult for regular computer users to come to terms with. When I first tried Linux in 2010, I soon gave up and went back to Windows XP.

As of 2025 some of the Linux Operating systems (Distros) are pretty good, as they have been slowly progressing, while Windows has been going backwards since Windows 7.

In 2025 Microsoft will be ending support for Windows 10 and ramping up their efforts to push their Windows 11 full blown spyware operating system with "Recall" taking constant screenshots of your desktop and sending them back to Microsoft. I'm expecting that even non security minded Windows 10 users are going to start having concerns about this level of spying.

Anticipating that this year I'm going to be trying to help more people make the switch to Linux I've started compiling all my Linux notes and blog posts into one big "LINUX NEWB" page on my blog.

The page is an ongoing work in progress and in 2025 I plan to continue adding a copy of anything I post that is Linux related to it as I go. New content will be added at the top. I'll mainly be focused on Linux Mint because that is the distro I use.

I'll also get into some of the open source software I'm testing out such as the Japanese privacy browser Floorp which is a cleaned out fork of Firefox

MICROSOFT IS SPYWARE

As of 2024, over 95% of Microsoft users were using spyware crap

These are some recent figures for Microsoft operating system usage - it blows me away that over 95% of Microsoft users are using Windows 10 or 11!

Microsoft ended for me at Win 7 (I refuse to use any newer Microsoft operating systems) and I'm mainly using Linux Mint now. Linux is far from perfect, and I suspect that the big players are doing their best to infiltrate Linux at every level and sabotage it's development from the inside.

But with Windows 11, Microsoft has gone next level spyware, and I hope that more normies start to wake up this year. Windows 10 is spyware, but Windows 11 is deep state fist up sphincter data control. 2025 is a good time to wake up, it's only a decade too late...

RANDOMS 2025 #01

I had fun doing weekly "randoms" posts in 2024, ritualistically sharing 10 images that caught my eye during the week, along with a GIF and one of my own artistic masterpieces, every Sunday.

So for 2025 I plan to continue this ancient tradition, but may not be as anal about doing a randoms post every week, although I will aim to keep posting them on Sundays for maximum spiritual enlightenment. And I won't be including a weekly GIF anymore because I've already posted most of the best ones from my collection.

This Substack account is filled with mind boggling content. He's a bit rough and quick to make broad generalisations sometimes, but unlike most "researchers" he's usually not boring, and he doesn't appear to be receiving funding from The Wellness Company or any of the other deep state gatekeeper shill companies.

Although there are certainly some things he's not up to speed on, like coffee or jewish control of deep state psyops, he does seem to be researching a lot of subjects that are usually being swept under the rug.
