This is a big one for me.

Besides not using Google, I find not using Windows equally difficult. I agree with all the privacy advantages and similar you may gain by using a Linux OS instead, but that does not make me a Linux user. I'm a windows user since I was a child. I've used in their terminology and as much as I've tried replacing it with Linux, I've failed.

So, if someone like Jerry faces such issues, you can't just tell them to use another operating system if they've used to use Windows their entire life. I find the following post very relevant:

All OSs are vulnerable to malware and phishing attacks. The only way to avoid being victimized is to educate yourself, and be diligent. The OS you choose will not save you from mistakes.

I've been using computers since Commodore 64s were all the rage. I used Apple IIs and the first generation of Macs when I was in junior high and high school. My first version of Windows was 3.2, and I've used every version since, including enterprise versions and some server versions. Currently I use Ubuntu for a variety of tasks, and most of my servers run a version of Linux. My daughters prefer Macs, so I've had a couple of those around the house for the last decade as well.

Those of us who have industrial engineering jobs, those of use who use CAD to earn our living, those of us who must interact with other people around the planet who use Word, Excel, PowerPoint, and the like... How hard would we be making our lives trying contribute while using some buggy shitware? All the best quality and most practical business and industrial software is written for Windows, and only Windows. So yes, my main personal computer is built to run Windows, and that's the only way I'll have it. Not because I don't know what else is out there or because I don't know how to use anything else. It's because I like it, it works great for my needs, and it's been quite safe when I do my part.

When I say that I find Windows to be among the most versatile, useful, and dependable OSs of all that I've used, it does come from a place of experience. So, you'll have to forgive me for not taking the advice of some newbie on an internet forum when he says things like "i suggest not using windows."

I can't stop but wondering what kind of coins and tokens those are. The majority of shitcoins are Ethereum-based, so he can just keep those on his Ethereum address on his Ledger. Maybe he doesn't know that and I wouldn't be surprised if he didn't.

Not that I like being biased, but he does look like the person who's here only for the quick profit without giving much attention to the potential risks buying shitcoins may have. What to say;
