Noob Question: If you aren't willing to deal with custom OSes like Linux (for computers) and Android Custom Roms (for phones), do you just not have any privacy at all? - eviltoast

I mean, exactly how invasive are default operating systems? (Like Windows, Mac, Chrome OS, Android, iOS) Do they log your keystrokes, log passwords, capture screen, upload your photos, videos, or audio? (Assuming you aren’t a target of government) Is it even possible for the average person who doesn’t feel comfortable messing with installing operating systems to have any privacy?

    There’s a Burn My Windows plugin for Debian if you’re on Linux that lets you apply that, and many other animations, to all of your windows. You can get it working on Arch too if you’re into that sort of thing. It’s probably my favorite part of my Linux computers, which is silly considering all of the other benefits, but I love it. LOL
