Because you don’t have to donate your money to the likes of Bill Gates or Tim Cook.

ANYTHING is better then that.

Tim Cook’s products actually get fixed. Tim has one OS for PCs. Tim’s OS gets commercial applications.

The primary output of Linux devotees is more Linux distributions.

Sorry guys, but I’ve grown tired Linux distributions where hardware, like networking gear, doesn’t work out-of-the-box or sleep mode never works correctly.

I have a Ryzen box at home, running Fedora. The system is fast, but it feels like a VAXstation II GPX, from 1987.

I commend you for standing on principle and back you 100%. Your thoughts are exactly my own. I would give up using computers altogether if there was not another option like linux. I personally find it immoral to aid and abet Bill Gates in any form or fashion period. A little personal time and effort to make the switch to linux eliminated that MS extortion for good.
