Honestly, I agree with @StillNoLeftLeft@hexbear.net

Ok fair enough, but I wouldn't have installed Linux if I had not seen it recommended.

I'm not a computer toucher, but I can follow written advice.

These sorts of posts always scold anyone giving out actual solutions just so being miserable can continue. This cultural thing almost has an end of history type vibe to it. It's also pretty hostile to divergent and often solution focused neurotypes.

Linux evangelism kinda makes sense, no one is spending billions on marketing and ads for it. I think Linux evangelists should ask about use cases first, instead of just posting a generic "use Linux".

Wasn't that the guy that would say slurs on stream all the time?

Yeah, he had some really bad tourettes and some other psychosis stuff. I'm not sure how much of what he said was his actual serious opinions and how much was the ramblings of a man who thought God was telling him to write an OS.

Heard he was a great programmer 'lost in the sauce' as the kids call it.

slursI am constantly mildly annoyed that he was the one who coined the term "glowing" to refer to fedposting before ruining it by associating it with a ton of slurs. It would be a great term for them if he didn't ruin it maddened
