    I don’t know about pushback, but I’m glad to have a conversation about this, so I suppose it IS the goal. I don’t think most people posting that they have been happily using Linux by default for years are doing so in bad faith at all, but that’s exactly why comparing notes and a shift in perspective are useful here. If everybody was just trolling and memeing about it, then I’d be much less inclined to engage.

    And, honestly, besides you being kinda mad and unreasonable (and again, you’re not that bad for Internet standards), everybody else is being super respectful, engaged with the issue and fairly open minded. I have no complaints.

    I object to the misinformation bit, though. Everything I’ve posted is either first hand, real experience or easily verifiable.

      It’s not hard to scroll and read. I’ve seen several people calling you out on this and the downvotes also speak for themselves

        I mean… the original post seems to have more upvotes than downvotes, so…

        Not that I gauge the value of a post by its upvotes. Sure, most of the people responding are disagreeing, but (besides you) they’re mostly being cogent, respectful and polite. I don’t have a problem with that.

          I read a lot of your responses. Each time someone brings up an obviously true good point, you sidestep it and blather on with some tautology. It’s clearly frustrating for everyone here and it’s not just me. Some of their points were rock solid enough that you didn’t even see a way to troll and you opted not to respond. And that’s pretty funny to me.

          With me, I’ve been verbose enough that you find something (as irrelevant as possible) to latch onto and distract from how over the top wrong you are about 99% of your “logic”. It’s obvious dude. There are enough other people pointing out what you’re doing that you cannot pretend it’s not happening. You’re not the only one who can read.

            I genuinely thought I had replied to everybody on this thread. I was frankly worried that it was a bit overkill, but hey, can’t please everybody, I suppose.

            I’m also pretty sure you’re the only one arguing about arguing. Pretty much everybody else has made a legitimate point.

            I do like that the cinematic universe of this thread that lives exclusively in your head continues to grow, though. I’m there for it.

              Lol yes and I everyone else made legit points. You sidestepped every single one and it’s clear that’s your MO. The only reason I engaged ITT is how consistently I’ve seen you do this in past threads like this.

              But sure it’s only me pointing out that you’re a disingenuous weirdo.

                No, it’s only you making up this alternate version of events entirely in your head. A few others have gone for disingenuous weirdo, actually.

                But hey, it’s good to have a fan. I feel we’ve really connected over the frankly obsessive amount of hostile replies you’ve posted in the past few days. Look, I’m not saying we should have a drink IRL, but also I’m not NOT saying that, you know? But seriously, we shouldn’t. Or should we?

                No, we should not. But, you know, think about it.

                    Yeah, no, I encourage it to the nonexistent masses following this. I fully expect droves of people to chime in any second now.
