Oh no, not binary files that are well-documented and you can know exactly what they’re doing!

Also, the journalctl files are just text with useful markers embedded in them to be easier to filter and search. Run strings on the journal files and see they’re just text with metadata in them.

You must compile every single software package from source, but only after you’ve examined every single line of the code yourself!

1995 called, they said you’re doing it wrong, and RMS is going to be very mad at you.

1995 calling would be telling you you need to roll your own kernel to be efficient on your 486

You… do realize that’s what Free software is about, right? Gnome, systemd, etc, ARE Free software. They’re created by tons of people and tons of other people look over the code so you don’t have to. The number of people who cannot understand this boggles my mind. Sure, errors and rare malicious things slip through, but not nearly at the rate of the average garbageware you run on other OSes.

Stop spreading misinformation.

Doesn’t sound sarcastic. You need to learn how to make something sound more sarcastic online, we can’t see your face or hear your vocal inflection, remember.

Or, you were just wrong, saw me correct you, and decided “lol, oh, no, I wasn’t wrong, just being SARCASTIC!!!1”. Sigh.
