Hi, post author here.

To anyone upset or offended by the Linux/nerd paragraph: please chill, and please forgive my tone.

I am a nerd myself indeed, and what I wanted to convey by this not-as-funny-sa-expected paragraph was that "going full nerd" is not a solution. There are ways to protect your privacy that will not be available to less tech-savvy people, and it's a problem. HN crowd will use Thinkpads with Arch on them, and phones with Graphene or whatever, but most people won't.

Yours, Absolute nerd and lover of desktop Linux since SuSE 6.0

Non-nerds can just buy devices with preinstalled Linux and never care about the maintenance or support. I never had any problems with WiFi or suspend on my Librem 15. Same I expect from Librem 5 smartphone.
