Don't be stupid. Buy an old Dell PC for about $100 dollars or less and install Linux on it for web browsing.

windows 10 key on ebay for 3 dollars

i don't even use virus protection

i don't understand how people get all these viruses and need all this security


then again i only go to certain websites and don't open unknown emails or install questionable programs

but then again I thought that was common sense

anyway whatever floats your boat but if you play games you pretty much have to have windows

You really need to learn how Windows works.

why?

my windows pc's always run perfectly fine and smooth

i never get viruses

what's the problem with windows?

it spies on you?

so?

i don't even watch porn

The question that you should asking is, who records every single click that I make?

And more importantly, who profits from it!

Ok, you don't get viruses or hacked, yet... but, the real issue is who has access to your PC? All day, everyday.

Not going to porn sites and getting $3 dollar Windows 10 key is not the issue.

Software should be FREE for everyone! And not open to ANYONE BUT YOU!

Learn how Microsoft, Google, Facebook and 10 thousands other companies use your data for profit.

Software that was engineered and is updated frequently to fix things should not be free, no.

It costs money to continue to fix and update windows

And I don't really care if they use my clicks to profit.

WHY does Microsoft and your ISP let other companies record your clicks for profit?

Why do websites complain to me when they can't see any of my tracking data? They outright tell you! "We make our living recording your metadata"!

I am NOT talking about porn sites or illegal activities. I meam EVERY SITE!

HOW DO YOU THINK THAT THEY MAKE MONEY? Well? How?

From YOUR click history! And access to private files onyour PC.

FACT!

Then you are a fool.

That explains why you feel so comfortable with Windows.

Enjoy your games!

>Linux Mint
>Secure

Nope, not at all.

Hardened Gentoo, or for the ease of use, Debian or Fedora.

Linux Mint has it’s place. It’s a decent alternative, but it’s basically baby’s first Linux for Windoze users.

I use other tools with Mint to increase my security.

I won't mention them here because the phrases will get you banned. Why is that do you think?

I also use a security tightened USB stick version of Linux OS at times for extra security. I can't say the name here.

You can get a Raspberry Pi with cooling case for $76. It has a dual display, 4gb memory (don't get the two gig one), and the hard drive is the same type of mini memory card that fits in your smart phone. You can get as big a card as you want and put raspian on it for free. It's got 2 usb 2.0 ports and 2 3.0 usb ports, and the graphics card gives you 4k dual display and it can handle anything. Raspbian acts like linux mint. Both of the OS are very intuitively designed for windows users.

You won't be able to play most streaming services on it because they work with windows or mac only. but you can get a roku for 35 bucks if ya got to have that.

All else works perfect, including you tube.

the whole system fits in the palm of you hand.

Sorry, but that is stupid.

For that price you can buy a whole used tower PC complete with hard drives, power supply, DVD, RAM, video card and it is easily expandable later.

And most importantly, you save a good PC from the scrap heap in India or China.

Use what already exists!

This reminds me of the 80's to 90's when we were tryin to keep our dos pc's relevant lol. It was fun times.

Dell PC system with 1 TB. Use Tor. Works smashing.

Nothing is recorded when you browse inprivate.

Also if they are recording clicks for ads, why does that bother you?

How exactly are you being affected negatively?

All that to avoid ads?

Or are you doing something more sinister online that you need to hide?

Just remember you can use all the security you want, but there are still people who can see what you are doing online.

I like things simple! I like thing that just work! Everyday, without hassles.

To me my computer is an appliance, not a hobby.

And I'm not embarassed to admit it.

Are you stupid?

In Private Mode, true nothing is stored on your PC, but every click is stored by your search engine(Google), your ISP(Cable Company), Microsoft(Windows), web page you are on(GLP).

Unless you use other tools to stop it.

Privacy is important to me.

It should be to you also.

Commodore 64 and a 1200 baud modem for the win.

Not really.

I recently bought a reconditioned Dell, w/I_7, solid state hdd, max ram. Actually my business bought it, $200
Fair deal.

Some people don't mind being a slave.

They are available by the thousands. And worth every penny.

Old chromebook makes a good linux box

To be honest, I haven't found any PC or laptops that didn't work on some Linux distro.
