Why do people still love big corpos so much? How do we stop using their products?

go watch idiotcracy again
the human nature is lazy
hence why they gave every responsibility to the government
pretty funny you would have a communist flag
since "communism" is exactly what we have and the natural conclusion of human becoming cattle

Because Linux isn't good... It's 0 user friendly and doesn't even install drivers automatically on first install.
Tried to install linux once and it had no nvidia drivers, had to use a fucking terminal to write a bunch of shit just to install it
how is this better than windows?

I'd just like to interject for a moment. What you're refering to as Linux, is in fact, GNU/Linux, or as I've recently taken to calling it, GNU plus Linux. Linux is not an operating system unto itself, but rather another free component of a fully functioning GNU system made useful by the GNU corelibs, shell utilities and vital system components comprising a full OS as defined by POSIX.

Many computer users run a modified version of the GNU system every day, without realizing it. Through a peculiar turn of events, the version of GNU which is widely used today is often called Linux, and many of its users are not aware that it is basically the GNU system, developed by the GNU Project.

There really is a Linux, and these people are using it, but it is just a part of the system they use. Linux is the kernel: the program in the system that allocates the machine's resources to the other programs that you run. The kernel is an essential part of an operating system, but useless by itself; it can only function in the context of a complete operating system. Linux is normally used in combination with the GNU operating system: the whole system is basically GNU with Linux added, or GNU/Linux. All the so-called Linux distributions are really distributions of GNU/Linux!

Bullshit, offices throw away perfectly functional old computers every week. If you're not a manchild obsessed with gaming, you can build a new shitposting rig for less than $100.

Almost everyone older than 40 sees computers as magic wizard boxes and under 30 have lived almost their entire lives with curated experiences through app stores and smart phones and people inbetween are mostly too lazy to get everything working beyond basic needs. When I was in high school we had a class where we had a bunch of shitty ibm's and would do stuff like uninstall windows 98, install ubuntu, uninstall ubuntu, reinstall windows 98, and get set up on the local network and then anyone that finished could sit around playing Quake 3 for the rest of the week and I don't think kids get taught that anymore.
