Linux Distro Articles Ignoring Linux Lite

[Artim]

Indeed! The only way to ensure privacy is to unplug!


But you know me, a true technophobe, scared of everything and anything involving tech. I have read and been spooked by so many articles and blog posts about the scary,malicious, and downright evil dangers of:

• Systemd
  
• Pulseaudio
  
• Elogind (in systemd-free distros)
  
• Google (and Chrome)
  
• snaps
  
• anything somebody thinks might be spyware/malware
  

It has sent me off to other distros and software that aren't nearly as simple, easy, functional, and just plain enjoyable as Linux Lite. The defaults are easy enough to change. Seamonkey in place of Google Chrome and Thunderbird, for example, using a PPA.


In the end, usability, reliability, and simplicity are much more valuable to me than "purity." A true purist would have to build his or her own computer from scratch using free/open-source HARDWARE as well as a "pure" OS and software that still probably wouldn't run with the point-and-click ease and convenience offered in Linux Lite.
