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
