So you're a free software guy quoting crazy linus torvalds who is anything but for free software and who could care less about security... You do know him and his whole family use windows at home right? He doesn't even use linux himself. He makes kernels in virtualbox on windows 10 and for the all the suckers... At least you use an fsf kernel, too bad no more grsec to use with it, since spender is another mental patient. lmao... What about when I quote Richard Stallman who says its ok to use secure boot for security because its "failed its intended purpose"... Why do you not address my statement on this? I find that suspicious. The same "purpose" you still claim MS wants to happen in the future turned out to be Fear mongering politics by crazy fsf nutjobs. So you seem to ignore the whole fact secure boot is a security benefit that is beneficial to all operating systems. Stop telling me about whats going to happen in the future like you are Nostradamus, makes you seem fake since this prediction was already previously made and was wrong. Like I said free software movement will never become popoular, if its own advocates are not even honest with themselves and seem distant from reality. You are like a car salesman to me. At least Richard Stallman half admitted he was wrong. So I guess you don't use a gui desktop since that was made popular by evil apple and ms, and since it would be so much better for security right??
