Ok, I applied a correction to the title of the video: The people were not *arrested* for using Linux and private tools, but the fact they used these tools was used as the main « proof » to keep them under investigation. The title of the video should have been « investigated for using Linux », which is what I now changed it to. The content of the video though, is factual: the only « proof » they have that these people might be suspicious is the fact they’re using privacy focused tools. I should have done a better job with that title, and I’ll be more watchful for this in the future. Many apologies.

Ah,, "kept under investigation" not "arrested". OK, but STILL! I was going to suggest, we all write to the DGSI and let them know that we are using Linux too, and have the TOR-browser and Tails on USB and Threema and TOR on the Smartphone or the like. See how they arrest us all... I recently was in Alsace for a weekend. With my Smartphone and Laptop! My TuxedoOS also uses full HDD encryption (thought I try that out, when I installed it, and it runs fine, without noticeable performance impact). So not arrested then. But still, I would like to see how they "keep us all under investigation" :) 7 might be manageable. 7000 less so ... BUT! ... but .. but ... but ... The case is not so clear as to villainise incocent people who just seek to protect their personal privacy by using encryption and Linux tools. The people were arrested aft being placed under investigation for joining a Kurdish militant group. Yet there is still a lot of controversy about the prosection

More specifically, they were under investigation/suspicion after volunteering for a Kurdish militant group. Given the terrorist attacks in France over the past few years, can you really blame the authorities for being overly cautious? Although the Linux/encryption aspect was part of the ensuing investigation it didn't seem to be the starting point. Ignoring important details, like the connection to a Kurdish militant group, falls well short of honest reporting.

It's worth persevering. You don't give up locking your doors because you lost your keys a couple of time. There is no real danger to enabling it when building a new system. Then when you are up and running, you make sure you have backups of your important data. If you're not comfortable encrypting your backups for fear of forgetting or losing the the password, at least you can put the disks someplace safe. But in all honesty, a password for backup disks should be a long password stashed on a password manager like keepass, which you keep in some of your cloud accounts. But encrypting external backup hard drives is super easy on any distro and also in windows. Some people will tell you not to use bitlocker because microsoft and bla bla bla. Nonsense. For a regular user, bitlocker does what it's supposed to do: protect your data from theft.

This perception of Linux as a tool that only hackers and criminals use is a bigger issue than a lot of people realize. I once got security called on me in a public library because I pulled my laptop out and updated my system. Some woman behind me saw the text flashing by in the terminal as apt (I used Ubuntu back then) did its thing, and went to get security. Told them I was hacking the library computers or something. It was nuts having to explain to some guy, with people watching, that I was just updating packages using the free wifi. I’m already a damn socially anxious person, but that stopped me using my laptop in public for a long time.

Surely a person telling their family to use the same technology makes it less suspicious. That makes it more clear that their concern is privacy and security from more ordinary things, not for illegal activities. The idea of having “nothing to hide” is stupid, because the main reason people take these security measures is to protect themselves from hackers and malware, not from the government who can use other methods of accessing your device and data anyways (such as getting a warrant to search your house, or requiring you to give passwords). Plus everyone has something to hide imo. Not illegal things, but things that could be embarassing or straight up dangerous for other people to know, such as your bank details, browsing history etc. Hard drive encryption especially is a MUST, and comes default in many operating systems such as Android, MacOS, and IOS. Is the French government going to arrest the entire countries population, because everyone uses either Androids or Iphones nowadays. This is clearly a decision being made by people who have no idea of how dangerous not allowing hard drive encryption is, as basically every business in the country would be more vulnerable than it was before.

Except that it's wrong … At the origin, the investigation was because they returned from fighting with a group that turkey consider a terrorist groups (YGP). The encryption part was because it was considered suspicious behavior to do that after their return. And it was then used as reason to continue investigating. Then during a raid on their home, they found bombs. They were then arrested. And the real reason media other than the 1 source used for this video was outraged is because of what appended during and after the arrest.

Re: System76 disabling Intel ME - it is not very clear that it's actually possible to disable Intel ME: at least most Intel ME exploits that I read about are effective against "disabled" Intel ME. Specifically, the Intel ME coprocessor is in part responsible for system initialization so it can't technically be disabled - this is a new feature in rather recent versions (I think ME 11, but I'm not sure) probably in response to OEMs physically removing the ME chip.

If they ever want to get more users, they should remove those limitations. But in any case, people seem to get really tired of the whole Windows infrastructure -- the only thing that keeps them from leaving is the software that they use, but things are slowly starting to diverge IMO.

For a lot of the opt-out options in Windows, both 10 and 11 have a habit of turning them back on after certain updates, but from what I understand, 11 is even more aggressive with this. If you could use Windows 10 or 11 for free with all of the data collection, but buying a license turned it off, that would be one thing, but it spies on you even if your copy is genuine and activated.

The news about the lawsuit in France is just not right. I think that this shows how bad governments in many countries are (I apparently live in one of them) about the topic IT and how much they should work on it. Also, I am happy I moved away from Win11 to Linux (I still have it for dual boot), because my Windows license was somehow deleted on a update (how does that even work). Also, I switched to VanillaOS and I think that distros very interesting (as a guy working with pentesting tools, coding and administration tools, and coming from Arch/Garuda Linux), even for beginners. The only thing that I hope improves in Linux distros is the gaming performance on Wayland (it's finally working without any NVIDIA driver problems). How should I play osu!

Their windows 12 with AI "advancements" will make or break Windows as the largest desktop share holders.. At least once people moves on from windows 10. Or windows 10 will be the next windows 7 lol. Honestly, I'm glad that the steamdeck was a success. It's pretty neat and it gives a nice view to linux desktop experiences. We need more things available like the Steamdeck. Most things that are largely available are Android devices and the Chrome Book e-wastes. Now we just need major stores to ship devices with mainstream linux distros; Fedora, Debian, and/or OpenSuse.

There's one very big reason I don't use Linux. It's called Windows Device Manager. At a simple glance I can see what hardware has got installed and working drivers and what doesn't. I wonder how many Linux users have sub-optimal performance systems simply because they have non-operating hardware and simply don't know. The driver space for Linux is also a TOTAL mess. How do you know what driver you're currently using? How do you know the driver is working? How do you change the driver, especially if you don't know what is currently being used? Would an average user know how to do that? In Windows it's ridiculously simple to do any of these things. Linux needs a device manager, it needs a unified driver system that the whole community agrees upon. Until then, you can shove it.

- The primary reason for their arrest wasn't the Linux/encryption tools. - They were under investigation / suspicion after volunteering for a Kurdish militant group. Secondarily to the above, the prosecution used their encryption/etc, (in a case of bad logic) as further post-hoc evidence or cause for suspicion. In my opinion, omitting the primary causes here is intentionally muddying the issue, and making it sound like encryption itself was the cause. *Caveats:* - Yes, the prosecution clearly don't understand the technology, and obviously don't care to know. - Yes, they are implying that use of encryption itself is due to "needing to hide something". - Yes, they're implicating innocent (AKA "normal") use of encryption as something bad, and that's a problem.

Opportunity for linux? Oh, yeah, just like almost all the former releases of Windows. Win95: Don't buy it, just wait 1-2 years, and there will be linux, which will be much better. Win98: That is just Win95 with a few tweaks, linux will eat it. Win 2000: You really want to use a server OS on your desktop? Use linux instead! WinXP: That is just a dumber W2k... Vista: Give me a break!, What is this trash? Don't support a ton of hardware, disgusting, overdecorated UI, slow, high system requirements. W7: Really? It already flopped as Vista! W8: Everything from the Vista line, with one difference: now it is oversimplified UI, linux looked better 20 years ago. W10: Just a W8 without the Modern UI. You can say "This will be the year of the linux!" Yes, you can say it if you want to be a laughingstock. We hear this phrase year by year in the last three decades. And still 2% at best... The linux community was always good in the front of promises. Nowadays I again testing linux. And still have many issues that prevent linux to be the OS for the common people. For example the W95 Task Manager wasa a much better tool than the current one in KDE. KDE try to hide from you what is eating your CPU. I enabled to show system processes too, and still I can see only 4-5 processes's CPU usage. And that is typically only a fraction of the whole. I try to use a Debian in an older PC (Athlon 750K, 8 GiB RAM, Radeon 8350, 128 GB SSD), and I can't even play a full HD video without massive framedrops on KDE. I look at the Process Viewer, and I can only see 25-28% CPU usage, from that 22-25% is the Process Viewer and KDE itself. But the total CPU usage is 100% continuously. Where is the rest? I can't see anywhere. With XFCE I can use this PC much better, and XFCE's process viewer is much, much better. But still in the level of Win XP only, nowhere near Vista and later Window's Resource Monitor. And if a process is hung in linux (tipically any type of game, even be it a VCMI and Heroes 3 Complete), I can't kill it. The process viewer can't get enough priority. Even basic tools don't work as in Windows. And no, 99% of the people don't want to do almost everything from command line. If it is a GUI OS, than the basic tools must be GUI too. By the way, when linux promoters complained about the Vista UI as overdecorated, overanimated, etc, they at the same time jerked off on Compiz Fusion, burning windows when closed, wobbling windows, when moved, etc. The typical double standard. Back to KDE: it is a perfect tool to nuke performance. The aformentioned PC has no problems running W10. And even gaming on it. Long time ago, when my GPU died (Radeon 5750), and I had nothing serious to game with, I played Half-Life 2 (other meaningful parts of the PC: Athlon II 620, 4 GiB RAM, Gigabyte GA-MA790GP-DS4h) on the IGP. With ease. That is a much weaker PC than the 750K and 8350, ant when I tried to play HL (1) in the latter under linux, the whole PC became unresponsive from a screen resolution change. WTF? No, games don't run better under linux. AMD FSR will cause games run faster, but you sacrifice image quality for it. And introduce image artifacts. And by the way, why can't I uninstall Libre Office Impress from Debian and Fedora? Why is even preinstalled? You call anything preinstalled on Win bloatware, but not on linux again?

Now, a few French computer users are protecting that right via commonly-used software, and are consequently being suspected of terrorism...whaaaaaat?!!! Worse yet, the prosecuting side has no idea of how said technology even works. Tech literacy has to spread into other areas of life.

If you have a line that can still operate with 10% of the computers offline, it makes sense to update 5% per day. Or if you have an office with several printers, just update 1 per day.

The reason people moved back to Win10 is right there in your video: they announced the end of feature updates on 10🎉 which is still a problem on 11

you are incorrect on the Apple Porting kit... they wrote their own DirectX to Metal layer to use instead of going the Vulkan path that Crossover uses. Its also not licensed to use outside of the kit, and is closed source.

That's literally why I have been wanting to become competent in using Linux distros for my daily workflow! I actually liked the workflow that Windows 10 offered after being stuck on Apple's Mac OS forever. So until support for Windows 10 ends in 2025, I have about 2 years to learn a workaround for all my needs on Linux and not have to resort to moving to Win11, which sucks ass.

As someone who still uses Windows daily , MS users are just weird. Generally they don't like change, don't install updates timely, then complain when the OS gets buggy. W10 to W11 as far as the desktop is like loading a distro in Linux then tweaking the desktop and adding tiling similar to Pop OS. Of the 2 I prefer W11 over W10, but they are very similar IMO. That's why I wonder about Linux adoption since if MS users can't handle the relatively small amount of changes in W11 they are also unlikely to ditch Windows and install something completely different to them.

The main reason many people stick to Windows 10 is because their computers don't have TPM2.0 as required by Windows 11. They would have to buy new computers in order to run Windows 11. This is a huge opportunity for Linux to attract new users.

I work for a charity - all our Windows 10 laptop and desktops have encryption enable by default. Frankly, I would expect this to be the norm for most corporate systems. Home systems, maybe less so - given Grandma may have a system issue and need the disks moved to a new device or something. . .

You're giving people too much credit for thinking those are the reasons they're not switching to Windows 11, it's because of hardware support

anymore when a KZitem video finishes these days I have to rush and grab my phone so that way I can either stop the ad that plays or refresh the page or change the video... I appreciate how there was not an after video ad. I understand that it is not always your choice but it is still something I appreciate 👍🏽

@@leonidas14775 this We already live in China, in Germany the system is called schufa They are now being sued because they were illegally sharing private data of every German citizen freely for years against EU law. Only took couple years until someone realized they’ve been doing illegal stuff since forever :D Look up Schufa and you‘ll see we ain’t much better than the Chinese, our mainstream media is just more incompetent at hiding it’s states wrongdoing. Not because they want free press, but bc especially in Germany quality unbiased journalism is dead.

It seems that the people that were arrested had been traveling to a destination, which landed them on a watch list. Probably with their usage of linux and other software to stay private elicited a response like that. Not stating whether it is valid or not, just that it wasn't only them using this software that got them arrested

@@leonidas14775 It's a joke until it happens. The moment we enter into the realm of digital currency, it's over. If anything, during the transition there will be chaos, and if you can take this seriously I highly suggest you stock up on food, weapons, ammunition, water, and learn to homestead and grow food at home. Stocking up on a year's worth of food is EASY. Also, invest in water purifier and a beefy solar-powered generator and learn other survival techniques as well. If you're actually serious about this and would like me to guide you on some resources, let me know, just trying to help you and your family because the times are coming are times where you'd wish you were prepared.

I was thinking to try request asylum in France. But after seeing news about people being arrested just for using privacy tools, I'm not sure that's France is a better choice than Spain anymore... I knew France has not the greatest police in Europe, but I didn't know it sucked so badly.
