What are you talking about? You can always use an external HDD as your primary drive, build a Faraday Cage around your PC with a small opening for an ethernet cord and a trustworthy router.
They are indeed trying to infiltrate FOSS but due to the nature of FOSS it is difficult to implement any backdoors (but not impossible so your observations are still valid).
The problem with an OS that is well designed is that it has a good variety of user-friendly features (see LM19). This means more code. More code = less likely for any single individual to fully audit their system.
It sucks because unless programming languages are as easy to read as English no one realistically knows 100% of what is happening in their system apart from a few really dedicated people in this world (like RMS).
I look forward to your response to see if you are a M$ shill or a genuine critic of modern-day FOSS (I won't be able to really tell otherwise).
