Feeling lonely? Enable Copilot and feel paranoid instead!

Personally I can no longer finish with out Copilot watching ^/s^

I don’t have a problem with ai. I just want to go use it when I want. I don’t need it controlling my pc or anything like that. I guess if you are old or disabled it could be a benefit, but mostly unnecessary.

Linux will never spy on you, because it's made by privcy stans.

This is a stupid argument. If you use the Internet, every website spies on you. Average Linux usage is not good for privacy.

So I guess we should all just go buy new Surface laptops and suck Microsoft's dick then?

Using a computer is much more than just opening a web browser. Web browsing wasn't even mentioned in the comment you responded to. Running Linux is already several steps better than using an operating system that actively spies on you.

Linux itself won't, Windows will. That's a positive in my book.
