Man, I wish there were more people around me who cared about discussing Linux and open source software. Only one person I know actually understands it, but heโs still running windows for games and programming.

People drink the Microsoft Kool aid, it's called money, they generally want it.
They have been taken by the dark side.
I still use Windows as my main computer, partially because I got this computer before getting into linux and have built up a lot files on it, and because I have a WMR VR headset that doesn't currently have controller support on the open source drivers (maybe once Microsoft kills WMR with the next windows version I'll switch)
Plebs...
It is said that the true linux developer can survive for months at a time on nothing but a piece of dead skin from a callus on his foot and the energy of the community-maintained free and open-source software
Windows is the most common operating system for developers

Visual studio which the the most used IDE after Visual Studio Code is only available on Windows and Mac.
The Mac version will soon be retired though.
Yeah. He even has a server rack at home. But still uses windows for all his devices. Luckily heโs not crazy enough to run windows server.
Then youโre definitely in the wrong circle. Join a local computer club if that exists. Changes things dramatically.
That sounds pretty nice actually. Iโm based in Sydney, but I donโt really find anything like a computer club nearby.
Maybe i just donโt know how to search for it.
We don't use open-source around here pardner.

Luckily I even know 2 persons who are into Linux and FOSS.
