Linux users are like Vegans. No one likes them and they won't stop bratting about being a Linux user.
I'm slowly going down the open source rabbit hole, but I have yet to fully go down the part where you preach about it like it's a God. I hope I never get that far, as I also use Linux from time to time as well. I ain't looking to be one of those annoying users who constantly brings it up if I can help it.
Talking about Linux is fine. Coming into any tech/tech support post, screaming that Linux is the answer, even if the person explains why they need Windows/Mac, is not.
It's like the Christians that comment on a dying persons tiktok about how God knows best, and God will heal them lmao. Literally not helpful and extremely ignorant and rude.
The thing is that Unix will solve every problem, the only question is when. Year of the Linux desktop 2070?
I'm legitimately unsure if it's appropriate to be running mission-critical systems on the Microsoft Windows platform nowadays, but transitioning will obviously take some time.
