There is value in trying things outside your comfort zone. It's the only way to grow, or find new things you like.

I swapped to Linux in the last month. But honestly being able to use my phone as a backup made me not worry about needing a computer right then.
Both of my parents did 23 and me (or one of the two) and I officially have boring ancestry. Both of my parents come from the same general region, my father has less than 1% of anything else and my mother is 1% Italian.
I wanted to find something interesting in there.
Cuba is an interesting one.
The problems with Cuba are political prisoners and their handling of AIDS. And a huge chunk of issues intertwined with the trade embargo.
As with all nations, it could be better, but it's far from the worst nation in the world.
"the soulless agents of orthodoxy!"
Taking suggestions for new media isn't a sign of youth. Imagine having a friend recommend a book and saying "I'm no callow youth! I'll select my own media thank you!"
Don't join the army.
I'm not young and I still will play a game because it's suggested to me. If everyone tells me a particular game/movie/book/restaurant is amazing, I'm going to try it.
Taking the advice of others and trying new things isn't a sign of inexperience.
I think it's both an issue if hardware support and being the little guy.
If Linux wants to be bigger it needs to change it's selling point. People have been conditioned to think of free software as bloated ad-fests by their phones. My wife was asking how I liked Linux and I could only describe apps as the early Android app store where everything was free and generally great.
Calling out Windows for privacy issues doesn't have too much sway. Mostly because the damage is done, people have posted on Facebook and agreed to every tracker, what's one more? Calling out Windows for being slower, showing you ads all the time and taking away features might have more traction.
I just swapped to Linux, and it's harder to use than windows, sort of.
I still can't get one headphone jack to work on my case and my wifi printer/scanner can't be controlled on the printer anymore. Troubleshooting has two modes, a step by step instructions set that either works or doesn't, or highly technical stuff that is above my expertise.
Not exactly, they look like earth octopus but are backwards and ungrateful. They have built no statues to bajoran fishermen.
Each year around a 100,000 Cubans are willing to risk their lives for a chance to live in the US.
The US is far from perfect, but people don't get on rafts hoping to make it to Cuba.
