like for example, one time i was browsing through some neofetch screenshots and i found out that a lot of them have anime or furry stuff as their wallpaper or profile picture, but they use linux. hmm or maybe they even have proprietary videogame images!! i used to think that was bad but now i realize that even if you have proprietary stuff as images like, furry fanart of some proprietary videogame, it’s like just a picture, a jpeg. but still, younger me would’ve freaked out by the idea of having proprietary files, but i still enjoy linux. what do you think?? please

    That’s good for starters. What do you mean by “younger me would’ve freaked out by the idea of having proprietary files”? Exactly what proprietary files are you talking about? Background pics are usually jpeg, or png, and those are not proprietary to linux, so I think that’s part of what has everyone confused about this. Are you also insinuating that people can only use certain backgrounds based on either belief or their own actual background? I am curious to hear your explanation if you aren’t a llm. And by the way, saying you don’t use chatgpt is exactly what I would expect chatgpt to reply with. LOL. I keed I keed.

      by proprietary files i mean stuff like msi files or, psd or illustrator files (which gimp and inkscape can open with ease), and also if richard stallman was here i think he would say something like having images of proprietary software would be like endorsing them, like what if you had images of fascist dictators?? that would be his way of seeing things,i think so
