    It is good to use linux. But this has an impact on everyone to some degree. You may use Linux, but does your family, friends, your doctor, your teacher or boss, and whoever else who has some of your personal data?

      You do bring a good point. Every doctor will havemy phone number on file and recall will screen shot that. I cant do anything to stop that. Same with every other piece of data.

      At least my doctor won’t have screen shot of everything, web page, picture, word doc, friends lists, political news, I view on screen.

      Someone will have vital information stolen from a recall hack on a 3rd party

      My data being in the hands of a 3rd party at all is arguably a larger risk than said 3rd party running Windows. No single individual can control what OS any particular 3rd party runs, and if you hand data over to a 3rd party, at some point you have to trust them. If you don’t trust them, find someone you can trust.

      Don’t make everyone else’s choice of OS my problem.
