    Proprieatary software has become completely unusable, programs that would have been labeled adware and spyware are now being pushed by corporations as the norm. I use open source software in my workflow, but I am still hobbled by Microsoft’s awful OS.

    And here I am adopting abandoned ports on FreeBSD and packaging applications that I didn’t even write as a hobby.

    I got multiple friends who use Linux at work and Windows at home.

    Meanwhile the two of us that use Linux at home never worked in anything tech related, we’re just massive nerds apparently.

      For me it was about time. Once I had kids, I no longer had time to dick around with an OS. It has to just work.

      But that’s why I switched back to Linux earlier this year. Now my games and hardware and apps all just work.

    I just spent three hours at home trying unsuccessfully to get a Bluetooth keyboard to play nice with Mint. I feel worse than when I was at work lol.

    That’s not Linux, that is Tux… And you might be an open source furry. What are your thoughts about GNUs?
