I feel like a weirdo compared to this scale. I use Ubuntu on my desktop and steamos on the steam deck but I also main chrome for my browser because as much as everyone else hates Google (rightly so) I actually don't mind their browser and I like the centralization of their services tied with having a Gmail account. And I have a pixel 4a. I'm weirdly into tech but I'm mostly a software Luddite.

The only tech normie icon I have installed on any personal devices is whatsapp. The rest are pure cancer.

I tick a few boxes across the rest of that spectrum. I land mostly in tech conservative.

I'd say I'm tech conservative although I am using Debian on my laptop.

This made me laugh more than it probably should

Dang, I just got stereotyped so hard as the tech conservative. Right on the nose with zorinOS and brave/firefox lmao

Im probably somewhere between the first four panels. I’m debating about at least partly using Chromium again since some stuff I do doesn’t work on FF and like macOS and Windows the most since they (mostly) just work out of the box. However I’m not comfortable with WhatsApp etc, am using Ubuntu and Arch on some machines and do prefer Open source for some software categories. And for some stuff I’m manually checking the source code and am compiling it myself since I’m paranoid. (Mostly password manager and similar).

I remember there being one more version with TempleOS users at the end

Tech conservative moving to newborn paranoid, depending on who I feel I need to hide from at the moment. I'm radically opposed to the concept of private corporations anyway.

I'm split between 1 and 2

Lol last one is extremely funny. But I'm also probably covering the spectrum from "tech conservative" to "tech paranoid", ticking boxes of each of the three

I'm a tech conservative... 😏

Firefox has better ad-blocking capability than qutebtowser, and I'd use both for different purposes, if I wasn't a lazy bum that CBA to bind two browser keyboard shortcuts. I could use qutebrowser to view ad-free documentation sites, but meh.
I use arch btw, specifically because of the healthy pragmatism towards proprietary software.
I love FOSS, don't get me wrong, but there's worthwhile stuff besides Nvidia drivers that I'm not willing to part with. I don't even have an Nvidia card.

Im somewhere between ultra paranoid and conservative...

Am a tech conservative that watched Stallman's Ted talk and watch(Ed) luke smiths. Not not gonna lie tho luke is maybe a bit wacko but he's entertaining and often brings interesting points .

I'd probably fall into the Tech Paranoid if it weren't for gaming. I'm honestly rooting for Steam to jumpstart the Linux gaming ecosystem even more.

i'm definetly newborn paranoid, but i actually belive opera and opera GX are great browsers nowdays

I use chrome and windows 11. So I am a normie according to this :/
