New computer with Windows pre-installed? Want to install #Linux 🐧 instead?

You pay for #Windows, even if you don’t use it. That’s unfair and non-transparent.

#Refund4Freedom from @fsfe & @ItaLinuxSociety defends your right to get refunds for unused pre-installed software! 😎

https://refund4freedom.org/

The campaign starts in #Italy 🇮🇹 but will later be extended.

FSFE & ILS support your right to choose your operating system. They also support #EndOf10 to prevent e-waste!

Reason 10 To Choose Linux 😍

Linux 🐧 is more private, by default

Own and control your data!

Your operating system won't record your key strokes or dictation, collect lists of devices and their Wi-Fi details, or webcams, printers and anything else plugged in and then send that back to Big Tech HQ.

It's possible to avoid data collection altogether, from the start.

With #Linux YOU decide how to share YOUR data.

Linux is like Ice Cream ❤️

https://www.optoutproject.net/linux-is-like-ice-cream/

Like ice cream, the #Linux operating system 🐧 comes in different flavors.

Imagine you'd never tried ice cream before, wondering -- Do I go for Vanilla, Strawberry or Chocolate?

Yes, the afficionados have their own crazy flavor combinations 🍨 and are proud of them. But you don't have to do that. You can just start with #Vanilla or #Chocolate and that is fine. 🍦

#Windows11 collects a lot of data, by default!

This includes browsing and location history, lists of connected devices, typed, handwritten and spoken content, and much more, all sent back to #Microsoftmicrosoft

If you didn't know, now you know.
