Windows 10 is going to be a cloud based os, they can push NSA spy ware to your computer at will.

Linux is going to be your only option to preserve your privacy soon.

I have heard many cases where Windows 10 makes it hard to install a dual boot system on the same hard drive, I am still planning on this though using a bootable usb stick. They are going to be a life saver for privacy.

I tried Ubuntu Linux live on the pc I bought over a year ago. Seems to handle most of the hardware.

May dual boot it and revert to windoze for the few things that I need.

Anyone know of a good VPN client for linux? I use Avast and it works fairly well.

It sounds like a better option everyday. But, then there's the old learning curve. It just doesn't hurt that bad yet, but it's getting there.
