    I personally like to joke that Windows users are masochists, Mac users are ignorant, and Linux users are arrogant. Obviously, these are the worst traits from a few bad eggs out of each basket, the majority are nice people who just use their computer for computer things.

    I personally run EndeavourOS, which is Arch-based!

    I hate being the smartest person in the room. I think it says a lot and nothing good about me that I find myself in the situation often.

    You forgot to highlight the part of the Apple TOS about not using Apple Software on machines controlling nuclear devices.

      TBF the Linux kernel already doesn’t meet the criteria because of all the blobs (depending on who you ask, anyway). But yeah, shenanigans like this is why e.g. the Ubuntu font family is considered unfree despite its stated intention of being free.

        “This project contains blobs” and “this project can be linked to blobs” are not the same thing. The kernel source code is completely FOSS.

    This is ultimately incorrect. Using Linux just means i’m willing to risk breaking my bootloader. Linux doesn’t stop me from running wine to perpetuate my dependence on closed source software. It doesn’t even prevent forgetting aliases that aren’t immediately broken and wondering why none of my services work anymore. I’m better than those people because my time isn’t a commodity.
