Have to use Windows for work (I've asked), the ads have been getting worse and worse on my work laptop. Today got a game ad notification... That's clearly too far, right? Like I have to clear notifications, so I have to see it

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Linux is a family of open source Unix-like operating systems based on the Linux kernel, an operating system kernel first released on September 17, 1991 by Linus Torvalds. Linux is typically packaged in a Linux distribution (or distro for short).
Distributions include the Linux kernel and supporting system software and libraries, many of which are provided by the GNU Project. Many Linux distributions use the word "Linux" in their name, but the Free Software Foundation uses the name GNU/Linux to emphasize the importance of GNU software, causing some controversy.

I use https://github.com/hellzerg/optimizer to remove Windows shit.
I have been using the CTT tools before, but Optimizer seems much better, faster and cleaner. And Ameliorated seems still beta, no documentation as CTT said, neither 100% open source. I don't want to support non-open-souce projects at all. 😞
Yes, it is wrong to use apps or support people making closed source apps. Closed source will always damage us.
Nope, the world runs on Open Source, many Closed Sources use Open Source, or they couldn't exist.
MS Office, Photoshop, CorelDraw needs libraries and tools that are open source. NO ONE IS GOING TO WRITE A APP FROM 0. XD
And those apps do not make the world run, servers, routers, cars, those essential devices run Linux for example, open source tools with open source libraries. OpenSSH and many security libraries, etc...
When did I say that??... 🤔
I am saying they can use those libraries used by big communities to ensure their essential communications or internal stuff is working properly, they don't need to write OpenSSH from 0 for example, so they can focus writing their closed source apps code.
