I respect people's right to use apple products, but please stop asserting "privacy", big corps doesn't give a shit.

I'm also a SWE and pretty old. I also spend time outside hiking and rock climbing.

I run Linux on all my machines aside from a couple macs but Linux is my daily driver.

It doesn't have to be a hobby.

Its been like 5+ years since I've run into a major problem that couldn't be resolved quickly. I have much more serious problems trying to use windows at this point.

If it's not a skill issue, it's a mindset issue.

To me, using an OS that isn't hostile and actively making itself worse for profit is worth the time investment.

It helps a lot to use popular, well supported distros like Mint or Fedora but even on Arch basically every problem I have is my own fault for breaking something.

    I literally told you it’s a time issue.

    Listen if that’s the hill you want to die on then crack on pal, but I’m just saying it’s not for everybody.

    In the grand scheme of things I’ve more important things I can channel by hatred of the current world than on what Operating System I use. Every minute I spend debugging is a minute I’m not doing something else.

    For what it’s worth it was Fedora that I tried and it sucked, as I said. The WiFi would just die randomly and even if it takes 5 mins to fix ive never had to do that on windows. It’s literally plug and play.
