You dont want your ISP to know you are downloading linux ISOs though. We should use some sort of code name for it. Like “copyrighted movies”

Idk why you wouldn’t be using the tor network to download your Linux ISO. Just begging for Linus Torvalds to come knocking on your door to throw you behind bars

Well that’s a very passive-aggressive way of saying, “No, no one has created a KDE widget out of this, yet.”

I saw the link (despite it being spoilered for some reason), but this is the kind of “omg it’s so obvious” attitude that puts newcomers off the Linux community.

I’m sorry that you were targeted with a meme in the linuxmemes community, it’s not very typical I’d like to make that clear.

but this is the kind of “omg it’s so obvious” attitude that puts newcomers off the Linux community.

Don’t worry, I’m sure that Linus will deduct the lost users from my sales commission.
