Reason 7 To Choose Linux 😍

You decide when to install updates and reboot your computer!

Security updates are critical. They should be done early and often to keep your computer safe.

But you don't want your device to force an update - and then reboot - while you're working.

With #Linux, the decision when to update is yours.

🏆 A big milestone along a decade-long road.

🌐 Governments around the world now understand the value of #OpenSource for global digital cooperation, & are rapidly working to become "good citizens" in the global community. Efforts like the #UN Open Source Principles help to bridge the connections that will make those contributions successful. #RedHat is a good role model of private sector contributions.

🇺🇳 Congrats to our Open Source United team for these ongoing efforts!

Is there a free software system like kick starter?

I'd like to run a funding experiment and it would require this model.

💡 Today is a perfect day to exercise your independence from #BigTech, and #GiveUpGitHub.

☣️ #GitHub is the equivalent of #Twitter and #Facebook for software development -- creators of the most enticing proprietary walled garden ever made for #FOSS developers.

Don't be stuck when Microsoft decides to change the rules on you.

Start today.
