Google kogs the searches and present the suggestions on the base of it, that is the main drawback to use Google search, apart of privacy, the filter bubble effect. Same as someone which always agree with you, even if you are wrong. Same for Bing, and others which log searches, they are not reliable, no valid.

Radiocokkars and Eartags are probably the future of US citizens, but not by aliens. I think more of neuralink, implanted by default on the newborns.

"You are arrested, you have the right to remain silent, as everything you THINK can be used against you", something like this.

It's an imperative need of it to search better alternatives to Lithium, because Lithium is a very dangerous metal (drill a lithium battery and you'll see ☠️) with severe environment, economic and policy impact. Not a solution for sostainable energy, Every investigation for alternatives are welcome.

Every OS nowadays need a good DNS server and better DNScrypt above. An app to control the traffic, like Portmaster or Pi-Hole is also recommended, irrelevant in which OS. Most activity of everyone is online and there is important to protect the privacy, because there is the biggest privacy hole, not in the OS but PEBCAC

I use PC before MS DOS times and I also used several Linux distros in the past, last Kubuntu and Mint, always in dual boot. But I never saw big advantages above a gutted Windows, but problems with a lot of apps which I needed. Currently I'm on a heavy cleaned W11 which works fast, stable and exactly how I want 100%, why because of this I have to change it, installing another OS? There are no practical reasons for it.

That is the point, but Linux, as said above isn't for everyone an option.

Comments in the web:

**Linux faces several key challenges that limit its broader adoption and effectiveness: **

1. Software Compatibility Major commercial applications like Adobe Creative Suite and industry-standard business software often don't run natively on Linux[^1]. While alternatives exist, they frequently lack feature parity or full compatibility with industry file formats.

2. Hardware Support Complexity Device drivers and hardware compatibility remain inconsistent. According to ZDNET, even basic tasks like printer setup can require manual configuration[^3]. Multiple competing package formats (deb, rpm, flatpak, snap) create confusion for software installation[^13].

3. Fragmented Development Focus The Linux ecosystem suffers from too many competing distributions and desktop environments. As MIT researcher Jonathan Birge notes, "It's downright laughable that an OS with single digit market share would further dilute its market share by having two competing desktops"[^21].

4. Learning Curve Despite improvements in user-friendly distributions like Ubuntu, Linux still requires more technical knowledge than Windows or macOS for many tasks[^1]. The command line remains necessary for certain operations, intimidating new users.

*(With this point I am not in total agreement, Windows with its plug & play and intuitive UI only SEEMS more simple, but to remove the bad habits, bloatware, telemetrias and other crap, are required a more advanced user to get it, entering quickly into Comanche territory. I think that Windows need a more advanced user as modern Linux distros) * 5. Support Structure Unlike commercial operating systems, Linux lacks centralized support. Users must rely on community forums and documentation that can be overwhelming for beginners[^13]. Enterprise-level support often requires expensive consulting contracts.

6. Market Share Impact With desktop market share around 3%, many software vendors can't justify developing and maintaining Linux versions of their applications[^21]. This creates a negative feedback loop - fewer applications lead to fewer users, which leads to less software development.

Summary: the best OS is allways the one which best fits the individual needs, a perfect OS for everyone don't exist. Every OS has its drawbacks, certainly Windows the most, but at least it's possible to fix.

Yes, dual boot is an option, but for certain things user need to use Windows. But you can make Windows a valid, fast and private OS, not so easy but possible. Telemetries re a minor problem and easy to avoid not needed. My W11 instalation has less than 1 GB and there is nothing working in the background which I don't want. Certainly I don't use any of the default Windows apps, nor the infame powersHell. Only the Defender and security updates.

How to Upgrade to Windows 11 While Maintaining Privacy and Control

Before You Start

1. Back up all important files to an external drive or cloud storage

Maintain Control

1. Move the Start menu back to the left: Settings > Personalization > Taskbar > Taskbar behaviors
2. Restore classic context menus and file explorer views for better efficiency
3. Set up default apps through Settings > Apps > Default apps to avoid Microsoft's preferred applications

Recovery Options

• Within 10 days of upgrading, you can roll back to Windows 10 through Settings > System > Recovery
