More importantly I have no fucking clue what any of that means, but I can plug rectangle into rectangle hole. And absolutely 0 “how to install linux” tuts come with your set-up, so I’m gonna guess most new people don’t know how to either. “Do network magic because some dickhead wants to remove all ports” isn’t going to be a selling point for them.
Can I SCP my dad the pictures of my vacation from 3 states away? Maybe. Would he prefer I mail him a “zip drive?” Yes. Not everyone on earth is a 1337 H4x0r like yourself there zero cool.
You really need your monthly 3rd redundant backup of your .kdbx file to be lightning fast? I can wait the .03 seconds it takes to transfer I’m not in as much of a hurry as you.

Yeah, if you’re in the middle of a desert, Antarctica or in some jungle then I can imagine. But the majority of people who are not on a safari somewhere and live in a normal, populated area will have internet practically everywhere. You’d have to go out of your way to find a place without internet.
Then maybe just buy a Mac and get 99% of the benefits of a *nix system without needing the appropriate knowledge.
He would prefer you sending him a simple WhatsApp message with your pictures instead of having to mess with a thumb drive.
No. I need my hourly incremental backup of my entire drive to be fast.

Ohh you don’t know poor people? I know more than one person without internet at home that just torrents at a friend’s house, I’m one of them. Honestly I prefer it this way.
Yup, no poor people, got it. Linux is free using your existing hardware, Mac not so much. Moreover they’re not much better than windows when it comes to privacy and control over your own hardware. Not really sure what benefits you’re talking about because it sure as shit ain’t those, unix based file system maybe, woohoo.
Meanwhile I’ve been using linux for about 7yr without needing to know that garbage because “stick go into hole” works just fine for everyone but you.
He also cares about privacy actually, so no whatsapp. Delta Chat, but then Image Compression.
You don’t keep a spare spare spare of your most important files? Do you even offsite backup? Up your paranoia game my guy, skill issue.
