    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.

    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.

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

    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.
