Help me understand what I don’t then. Why would anyone wise ever trust someone they don’t know running closed source software of any kind on “their” computer?

I don’t trust that asshole. I know him enough to not trust him let alone make my computer follow his directions. Why use anything but FOSS?

All down votes but no answer. Suckers.

Whom you talking about in terms of “don’t trust someone” ? Also where is the connection between closed source and immutable distros?!

What’s closed source about an immutable distro? And who are you referring to?

I can’t seem to understand why you would use it on a personal workstation.

Re that specifically.

Who is “he”? Who is “that asshole”?

Nobody is talking about non-FOSS software, so it’s kinda weird you brought it up. In the “old man yells at clouds” way.

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Linux is a family of open source Unix-like operating systems based on the Linux kernel, an operating system kernel first released on September 17, 1991 by Linus Torvalds. Linux is typically packaged in a Linux distribution (or distro for short).

Distributions include the Linux kernel and supporting system software and libraries, many of which are provided by the GNU Project. Many Linux distributions use the word “Linux” in their name, but the Free Software Foundation uses the name GNU/Linux to emphasize the importance of GNU software, causing some controversy.
