I also think that the Desktop/PC category should be renamed to something else. 'Linux Overview' does a good overview of what linux is best for and not best for but as from the analytics most people prefer to go to recommendation page. Although "Desktop/PC" recommendation page refer to the "Linux Overviews", I think it should have button similar to one that in Android recommendation Page. Related issue: #2002 (comment) |

Not sure why this happend without any discussion. I am really upset about this. I highly disagree with this change. The OS is the most important thing to safeguard people's privacy. I thought this was now a well established and agreed upon vision. |

@ph00lt0 sorry, I don't usually read GitHub issues/PRs after they are closed, so I missed your comment. This change was discussed on Matrix in our main public chat room, and in team discussions. We don't typically have formal discussions (i.e. on the forum) for website organizational and design changes, especially in cases like this where the changes don't involve any modifications to the wording on the site. That being said, it's not something which can't be discussed either. If you still feel strongly about it you can open a thread in the Site Development category about reverting this change. I do stand by this statement though, so I'll push back against you on this one a bit :)

Changes proposed in this PR:
I think that operating systems currently receive a disproportionately high amount of consideration when people are considering privacy tools. The reality is that the many layers of tools you use on top of your operating system have a much greater day-to-day impact on your privacy than your operating system itself does (e.g. generally, most people would be better off doing something like switching from Gmail to ProtonMail, rather than switching from LineageOS to DivestOS).
Obviously they are still relevant to privacy, so of course we would continue covering them, but visually I would just like them to not be one of the first things we talk about. I think the current order also creates a feeling of "oh, I have to switch out my entire operating system to be private? I might as well not even bother," which isn't true at all.
