@kevin @jonmsterling I was a Mac (classic) user throughout the 2000s until I started using gentoo in 2006. By 2012 I had given up and bought a Macbook. I used Linux when I was a teenager with loads of free time. When I had actual shit to get done it was not OK when an update broke NetworkManager again or pulseaudio broke my microphone again.

@liamoc @jonmsterling yeah I use Unix (NetBSD) because there’s no other option, but I can’t say I particularly like it. I think the Unix Hater’s Handbook was essentially right then and now that the Unix culture more or less rewards obscurity and poor design. Generations of programmers now seem unaware you can actually just design good interfaces.
