@roaring On Linux the biggest problem is usually I/O Errors[1]

@pathduck I've been using Unix/Linux since 1998. and I will never go back to a Winblows product. I liked DOS but Bill Gates screwed that all up.

FOSS has many advantages, regarding modifications, adaptability and collaborative development, but nothing at all that will have great advantages at the level of the normal user, apart from being mostly free.
Regarding privacy and security, FOSS is neither better nor worse than any other software or OS.
The best example is Chromium itself as it is 100% FOSS, as are be all the APIs from Google, Facebook and others that it includes by default, Firefox is not much better in this regard, also having APIs and ads from Google and Alphabet Inc. which track user activity.

@gwen-dragon , The OS is more secure with changing the user. Windows is beginner and bum proof, Linux is not.
