Some users have recently had their accounts hijacked. It seems that the now defunct EVGA forums might have compromised your password there and seems many are using the same PW here. We would suggest you UPDATE YOUR PASSWORD and TURN ON 2FA for your account here to further secure it. None of the compromised accounts had 2FA turned on.
Once you have enabled 2FA, your account will be updated soon to show a badge, letting other members know that you use 2FA to protect your account. This should be beneficial for everyone that uses FSFT.
Open source code is not open source software. And its a long long jump from using open source code to and claiming it screwed up your computer to saying open source software is bad. Really really stretching here...
Plus that's a MacBook Air, with Macs you just buy software through the iTunes...
I found Ubuntu and its variations to be the easiest and most userfriendly with big wiki knowledge base. Kubuntu is good for netbooks. Also tried Knopix which was quite decent.
