chromodynamic

Because I want to control my own computer. I had to pay for the device, so I should be treated as the owner, yet Microsoft and Apple act like they own people’s computers, and build software that treats the computer as property of those corporations.

I don’t like tinkering just to get stuff working, so I use more user-friendly Linux distributions, and it’s been very smooth.

The main differences are:

• package management (how you install new programs)
• release model (fixed vs rolling)
• default desktop environments (the GUI / look and feel)
