You're definitely onto something. This isn't the first time corporations have targeted FOSS, but because Linux is gaining in popularity we're starting to see the old FUD and EEE tactics come back into play.
Once we start seeing more normal people using it, primarily women, we'll also see tons of misinformation that exists to sow the seeds of doubt in their minds.
Probably something like the old "mac vs. PC" commercials but with "windows vs. linux"
I don't use facebook, but I'm seeing Linux brought up way more among the consumer tech-crowd.
Looks like they all want to fit in with each other by resisting "windows surveillance."
Personally, I think it's pretty stupid where they decide to draw the line, almost like they're not even making the decision for themselves. But I'll still accept it if it causes more people to drop proprietary software.
Don't concern yourself with hardening.
Just use your computer like you normally would, solving issues as you encounter them.
Don't let people drag you down rabbit holes.

Gnome devs shouldn't have put the onus of adding settings onto addon developers...
Never going to forgive those fools for having something like "gnome tweak tools" be recommended to so many users without them adding an official implementation.
I totally agree.
Really wish we could get in the habit of recommending GUIs first, not last.
Hey man, neither of us can see the future.
It's totally possible I'm incorrect, I even said that at the bottom of my text.
If I'm wrong, great. But I won't hold my breath because I wasn't born yesterday. Seeing this guy say "not for sale" while begging for money is a very tired stance to have, considering all the people who work harder than him and don't rely on donations or sales.
The powers that be know the threat free software is to their control.
Richard Stallman was right when he said "free software, free society."
