Do you have a few minutes to talk about our Lord and Saviour, Linus Torvalds?
Fuck you and your stupid code, man! You fucking fucktard cannot distinguish a ; from a :! I do not care how fucking unpaid you loser are, get. this. code. right. Now fuck off!
- Word of our Lord and Saviour
I heard rumours that there was a giant animal involved in the making of Linus Torvalds. So please refer to him as GNU/Linus, or GNU+Linus.

Totally understandable. Haven't used windows at all, home or work, in at least a decade. However, I went through my insufferable Linux zealot phase about 15 years ago.
I was an annoying judgemental ass, but I got better.
proud of you for your growth, and more than that, your willingness to admit so aloud πββοΈ π
That's not to say that I still don't honestly consider Linux a better option in most use cases. I just don't generally wade in past the most simple explanations of stuff.
If people want to switch, they will. I've realized I'm not doing anyone any favours by being pushy.
100% with you
Me at 16, shitting on people who use OSX (iOS wasnβt a thing then)
Now me: oodles of Windows machines, three Linux machines, a Mac laptop, and an iPhone because fuck dealing with custom ROMs
Did you know every time you download chrome a Hitler gets his wings?
I have so many questions about this pantheon you believe in.
Use Temple OS
Whenever I read that joke I get sad. His pictures on the Wiki article from 1990 and from 2000 tells one everything.
(If anyone wonders: Yes, I am great at parties.)
I use Arch btw.
my back arches btw /flirt
Linux made my computing fun and free again. It's not for everyone but it did spark my interest and finally settled to be happy with the change.
Ymmv, though don't rule it out how anything could impact you personally. Playing the hard to try way might poison any cool potential personal discoveries on your own.
You def should tho
I was lucky to be in a few companies that enforce win, Linux and Mac laptops.
In the win company (a pretty big one, everyone has heard of it), they've given me Think pad T14 that had an i3 proc that was falling behind 3 generations.
In the Linux company they've supplied me with a disgusting chromebook, "because everything in the cloud now". Discussed ByOD, worked from my own one.
In the most recent company - the smallest one I've been working in, they've given me a decent M1 Pro with 16 Gb.
So at least, companies that enforce Mac will give you a decent machine to work on.
This is why a prefer Mac shops. It's kinda hard to buy a current Mac and have the stats be actual dogshit.
I swear most windows shop try to find the shittiest machine that even qualifies as a laptop then load it with so much corpo wear that even Outlook sends the machine into thermal limiting

"Well, for your use-case you could install Linux, it would fix every specific issue you mentioned..."
"WHAT!? Use a different operating system?? That's not a personality! REEEEEE!!!"
not the scenario i am representing, but thank you for your judgemental and condescending comment π
You perfectly demonstrated why people will never listen to you. Think about it, you'll get it.
