I don't think I'm changing anything in society by using Linux. What I'm 
changing is getting rid of the control Microsoft and Apple wants to have on 
my computing. Open Source is not a religion (at least not for me) it's a 
means to a freer computing platform where I can make my own choices, without 
ads and without my OS "reporting home" 24/7. Unfortunately, just like the 
world in general, there are a lot of Woke morons involved in Open Source. 
Until the aspell spell checker tries to replace "him," "her" or "it" with 
"they" or some other asinine "gender" word then I'll keep using it.
