Riiiiiight, Linux community is friendlier. I wouldn't really call them that, though some aspects are. My problem still with the entirety of the Linux community that will always put me off about Linux and rather tolerate Windows more is the elitism. I have used Linux OSes before, I have my fair share of favorites and I see Linux as a go-to whenever I pick up computers too old to bother with Windows 10 and 11 and I just simply want a bare basics machine.

But I cannot in full faith, use Linux as my primary OS. I've tried. I can't do it. There are simply things on Windows that I need and want to use that'll simply just run and that's what I want the most is for things to just run. It isn't because I'm too dumb to use a Linux OS. It's because I don't have the patience or time to be weeding through forum posts, deciphering depositories and repositories, figuring out what obscure and vague message the terminal sends me and spending time on Google.

Besides this whole chart doesn't make a load of sense. Like the whole "you'll own what you buy"? What does that have to do with D&D and Pathfinder? I don't get it.
