      Enabling the less fortunate and resourceful. Media corporations want you to hate it.

    Rough transcript (may and probably contains errors):

    Disclaimer, this video is provided as is, without any warranty. The author is not responsible for any damage caused by this video, both physically or mentally. This video is intended to provide a more in-depth understanding of why Linux is trash, in a more intellectual than technical sense, as you would.

    So where should I begin? Linux as an OS that sucks the biggest Python on a personal computer level? Linux is a lie. It’s really based on countless false promises by these predatory players.

    It was never intended for you and me, the commoner anyway. The first Linux OS was developed on a 386-based computer that would cost $6,000 plus, on today’s dollar, the elitist’s toy. If that breaks your bank or heart, then the fastest Fugaku supercomputer that runs on Linux could be your bank, in that it costs more than $100 million. You wouldn’t be able to afford the electricity bill.

    The players that benefit from Linux are never you with an old computer that you want to revive, as it’s normally being pitched to people, nor to a student who wishes to get his or her work done on it.

    The players who need to get Linux have already been done so, the big corporations of any type, including Microsoft, Bill himself. This may sound ludicrous, especially when Microsoft has been creating its own Windows OS, but it’s not.

    Peer pressure definitely plays a huge role here, but it’s lucrative to farm free labor, why the hell not? As the biggest child of a false free software movement, Linux has really evolved long from its little mini kernel program to a cult-like techno-fascist’s paradise. And I am here to expose them.

    First of all, everything is about Mr. Green. Money talks and BS walks. In order to get to the bottom of something, we need to ask the correct questions. Who pays for Linux? Nothing is free in this world for sure. Big techs do.

    The cloud is powered by Linux. -And the cloud belongs to big tech so it’s vital to their survival to get Linux funded. The rest of the funding is from you. Yes, you. Just you talking about it would get the dummies in office to think that it’s cool to donate a few millions to keep you happy and them cool. Therefore, it’s imperative for the creepy penguin to keep its image as positive and wholesome as possible.

    This would include the act of throwing their godfather-like figure the S-man under the bus when he talked freely about how it’s OK to engage in sexual acts with minors as long as it’s consensual. The poor old man, you think? Think again. S-man is only the biggest predator, not necessary toward minors in a sense, but with false pretenses of getting consents from older men, men with no social experience, fresh from TAP, naive, being working as a professor in MIT, making the recruit only much more convenient.

    The FSF, for all its existence, has gotten consents all over the world, with the cloud powered by software written by its own victims for the past few decades. GPL is the name. It’s a sheet of paper equivalent to human trafficking that S-man approves as long as it’s a mutual consent. If you believe in sweatshops and exploiting underprivileged groups of people, then this license would be for you.

    S-man is a hybrid of being a communist while living in a capitalistic society and GPL is his manifesto. Karl Marx would feel ashamed of not having thought of the radical ideas found in GPL, where you can be both the abuser and the abused, no more class struggle or is it?

    Linux in itself is a constant struggle of being relevant and approved, but struggle is hardly applicable to the top cult leaders of the project. Their existence itself is a very twisted post-communist neo-capitalism. Free for all, yet still being enslaved by its self-importance, and controlled by big techs, its main benefactors.

    The cult is supposedly non-profit, but with an estimated annual revenue of 100 millions, tax-free, fully non-disclosure. The openness of such a thing is clearly in a false pretense, as well as its freeness and promised freedom. You are free to use such software for sure, but the support to use it is not free, nor is it included. You are free to study the source code, but a complex project like that is hardly educational material for anyone. You are free to modify the code, and we are free not to accept your modification, but thanks for your contribution anyway.

    Since we are living in the neo-capitalism society, many other more practical false freedom open source licenses of similarity have been created, but their nature is the same, the enslavement of its licensees.

    The cult leaders would get rich, as it has always been, and the good and naive group would get exploited and trampled, as they always would be. Before we trash Linux completely for what it is, we need to define what it is.

    An Android is technically using the Linux kernel, but no one out of his or her mind would call an Android a Linux. Being technical to public and bully those whom express a sightliest of confusion is a common tactic for the techno-fascists. Therefore, the S-man himself insisted very strongly that the Linux OS to be called GNU slash Linux and so spotting a S-man cult follower is as easy as trying to scan the term GNU slash Linux in their text.

    Therefore, here, Linux is simply referred to as a Linux OS for personal computers, because for most normal users, this is the most relevant meaning. Linux is absolutely trash for no other reason but its users’ unfriendliness. I have tested more than 10 distros as of 2024, all emerging with similar levels of unnecessary cumbersomeness.

    They are all trash powered by a multi-billion core and that is almost expected. And now it’s time to ask another question.

    Why are there so many distros? The official answers are all lies and not worth repeating. Here I give you an unofficial one. It’s because of the parasitic existence of these developers trying to get a share of the pie by exerting minimal amount of time and effort.

    Why are there so many cryptos? Same exact reason. It’s a digital gold mine without being cryptic or cynical. I can do some typical and superficial comparisons between my preferred OS to a few Linux distros, but I don’t need to.

    Truth speaks for itself. Some prefer gold over manure. And it’s also true that a farmer with nutrient-deprived crops would choose manure over gold anytime, any day, anyway. Any argument would be futile because a fertilized dirt is more valuable than gold to a farmer, the imprisonment of its own expertise.

    Linux is trash because its ecosystem is trash.

    The openness is not an embracement of each other. They are, in fact, neo-technofascistic separatists, each with its own sets of agenda of attempting to dominate the open-source personal computer market with minimal amount of cooperation among its self-isolated open-source communities.

    These distros are not part of the official Linux core, but run by hobbyists, volunteers, fanatics, and fascists, where freedom of speech is not promoted nor tolerated in these so-called free communities. -Just like any self-asserting cults would be. The quality is absolutely non-existent. It’s as much a hierarchical system as its file system. A normal person would think that in order to be a programmer, one would be very good at reasoning. But in reality, programming is a pragmatic practice of following a cult-like order from higher upstream api directives and its maintainers.

    You don’t need a very high intelligence quotient to be a coder. And many times, they lack the emotional intelligence needed to communicate among each other. thus the separation, the fragmentation, and the lack of user friendliness linux is garbage, and it has been garbage for all its existence, and it will be garbage for the near foreseeable future this is because it’s merely an afterthought.

    It’s a social experiment to test the endurance of its desktop users for gobbling up trash without being too sick.

    On the other hand, Mac OS or windows is designed to be a personal computer from the get-go, and that is exactly why they are that fucking good. Good for productivity, and good on a personal level, because they are exactly what they are advertised and designed in the first place. Mac OS being controlled by Apple is also a cult-like thing, and it’s based on a Unix system similar to Linux and with the same level of closeness. In reality, Microsoft is more free and more open to everyone.

    Last but not least, Bill is a philanthropist who has donated billions. Our S-man, not a philanthropist, and for someone that promotes free software while being an educator himself, has rarely exerted any effort to help the less advantaged, so who the free software is really intended for anyway? Surely not the firewood drilling African tribal men or women.

    Linux could have been a powerful, personal level empowering tool, but it has failed and will always be a failure. While its derivative Android has already changed the world, making commuting accessible to everyone.
