IMO, that's a rather myopic reason to select an operating system. An OS, |
| 24 |
like any other piece of software, is a tool for a task. You select the |
| 25 |
one(s) which allow you to accomplish what you want to on the hardware you have. |

Funny you should say that. A Linux machine has been my primary personal |
| 34 |
desktop for around 18 years now. Most of that has been on Debian or some |
| 35 |
derivative, but part of what I want from the tool at hand is that it does |
| 36 |
what I want - so I had the freedom to switch to Gentoo and ditch PulseAudio |
| 37 |
and systemd, the two flies in my otherwise functional ointment. I've only |
| 38 |
been here for a little over a year, but I'm incredibly grateful for the |
| 39 |
hard work and the helpful people. Perhaps you should look up that word: |
| 40 |
gratitude. Remember that all of this costs you nothing and costs others one |
| 41 |
of the only two resources we genuinely have (time, the other being our |
| 42 |
physical being) for which they recieve no extrinsic reward. And perhaps you |
| 43 |
should exercise your freedom to select another operating system. |
| 44 |
|
| 45 |
And I'm running KDE and steam without issue, ignoring nvidia driver bugs |
| 46 |
wrt Vulkan, affecting exactly one game I have. But I'm not here to bore you |
| 47 |
all with my thoughts on nvidia and their non-alliance with the Linux community. |
