      As a Windows & Linux user, I can, in the same way that I get that car people love working on cars.

      I still really don’t ever want to work on cars but I understand.

      I largely use technology of any kind for the applications of its use, not because of an intrinsic desire to knee deep in technical work.

          File extensions, wanting a GUI for everything, running some random threat detection software, assuming that Linux is lightweight so therefore it will make old machines have modern performance… The list goes on

      yeah this was the thing.

      it’s not even about whether linux is ready. windows got sloppy drunk and rode its motorcycle into a brick wall. it’s linux or nothing now.
