I just received a call from an indian microsoft technician. He informed me that my PC is sending a ton of error messages to microsoft. Most likely it has been hacked, and he would help me by remoting in and fixing the problem for me. I just wonder... Is it my PopOs or my Manjaro PC that sends all this info to microsoft?

its a dangerous virus known as 'Linux' which can completely replace your precious Windows installation! be careful, there is a lot of propaganda pushing free (as in communism) software

I once looked at a Linux PC and I couldn't stop reading Karl Marx ever since.

What is this unfortunate disease called

Communism. You get it automatically from using Linux. Everybody knows that.

Once someone asked if somebody knows how to run this old game in a linux community.

The game was "capitalism lab". I said no, we are communists.

The guy then deleted his post.
