    Honestly, OS's like Ubuntu literally do ALL of that work for you now. And any 6-8 year old laptop that was good enough to not break by now most likely has ALL hardware drivers for it in mainstream kernel. Its to the point where I call Ubuntu 'Windows 10 of linux' And Mint 'Windows 7 of linux". And its not far from spot on.

    Be honest, when is the last time you tried linux? And what issues did you have?

    The main reason as I said, that people don't adopt it is because of your fear mongering "It doesn't work!! I have to learn things!!!" as if you've never had to learn how to use a tool. The UI is great, and you can even build your own if you have the skill. But people read through threads like this, and see all of this "LINUX IS HORRID!!!" spewed by people who have never even used it. Very off putting, kind of "Fake Newsey"

    Yes, because they weren't smart enough to know that it would evolve into that right? You understand WHY we have a right to keep and bear arms right? They wanted the citizens on par with the government so far as tools went. There is a reason for that. If the oppressive government has AK-47's and the citizens have Muskets.. Well, you can lie to your self but its not nice to lie to others. It is enshrined in the constitution right behind freedom of speech. I have however seen you advocate for the removal of free speech, and the right to bear arms. So I expect nothing less from you or your ilk.

    HAHAHAHA You're retarded. This is why everybody laughs at you guys on this matter. Stop letting emotion control your thought process. You're doing the same thing you laugh at the "YOU MURDER BABIES!!!" people for. get real man. I know from being here long enough that nothing I can say to you will make you think realistically about the situation. But you could at least try to be honest.

    It will also add encryption from your device to the edge of Cloudflare's network for traffic that is not fully encrypted.

    It is literally talking about https and non https web shit. Anything else done and all of your DNS queries can be recorded. You are not reading through the legalese. You must not understand how the data transfer works, and are their prime target. GLHF. Just don't tell others their wrong.

    Actually, you're encrypted from your network to the VPN server. Owned by CloudFlare. Then it decrypts and exits kind of like ToR which is why the US government runs tons of exit nodes. You do know how a VPN and tunneling works right?

    Chances are loads will switch to Linux, because after so long, basic shit won't even work on windows 7 because the lack of releasing drivers or something stupid. Plus it will get really insecure over time, it is windows. And you will be vulnerable to all kinds of remote exploits web and IP based. Maybe even get owned on some wireless exploit because you can't get updated drivers or something. Once there's not enough users on windows 7 to justify. Hardware companies will stop making/updating windows 7 drivers.
