The linux community is split cleanly in two.

Those with way too much self-awareness and those with none at all.

I say that as someon who uses a linux distro as my main OS. (Yes I am better than you).

    There's also a hierarchy. You run Mint? Lol ok kid, adults use Arch.

    Sadists use Arch.

    no way, sadists use gentoo. i vastly prefer arch because i often need libraries that are newer than most package managers get in a timely fashion. i use fedora on my server for the opposite reason, but for my workstation, arch wins easily.

    a linux beginner would probably need to be a sadist to use arch, but anyone who knows what they're doing will have a fine time.

    As opposed to dabbling? Nah fuck that, I'm all in, to the extent possible. I have to use Mac OS for work, otherwise I'd be fully on Linux. Fuck windows with a rusty knife.

    Ugh... I feel your pain.

    Linux full time at home, bazzite/steamOS for games. Mint for the media center. Debian on proxmox for homelab, and early attempts to not hurt myself with nix for the laptop.

    But I support windows/OSX at work, so I have to keep up with all three worlds.

    Most people start with dual booting and eventually, inevitably, move to linux full time.

    I agree, I just don't know realistically how many people use them anywhere near equally for very long. I've been 99% on Linux for 5 years. That 1% is basically just me keeping a windows partition for security. I end up logging into it once every 4-6 months but I don't truly "need" it almost ever.

    "Dual booting" as a concept is flawed anyways. You cant use both partitions so you gravitate towards one of the other (usually just linux; otherwise it'd be only windows anyways)
