Finally, a person with an actual voice. I feel like the, "Switch to Linux," don't realize they sound like, "Just get an iPhone people." To me it all sounds like, "well if you don't like being in this country then just leave."

Linux is not the answer for all people the same as switching to an iPhone should never just be the answer.

I don't get it. If a product sucks, why wouldn't you switch away from it?

"Don't suggest I leave my abusive husband, instead I'll complain about him to my friends until he magically gets better."

Christ, you guys sound like you have Stockholm syndrome.

I've been running Linux on all the machines I own for years, but I still have to run Windows for work. Not everyone can just switch and I doubt there are many reading this who are unaware they could switch to Linux (or Mac, BSD, etc.).

Oh I also have one MacBook running MacOS because Apple decided to only allow iOS development and parental controls, of all things, on Apple devices running Apple software.
