I use Windows 11, macOS, and Fedora Workstation. I’ve never understood why some people make their OS choice part of their identity.
Is it considered "part of my identity" because I mention Linux every couple months at work? I'm known as a Linux guy at work and I see nothing shameful about it at all. When alternatives suck and everyone knows it, there's nothing wrong with mentioning a better way here and there. If I wedged it into conversations constantly that would be annoying but I don't.
because it controls everything on your machine?
And your computer is your identity?
Should I get a tattoo that lists my specs?
I would rather not have the mossad on my computer, but its not my identity
Agree. Except Arch.
I do understand people making Arch part of their identity. If you are an olympic swimmer swimming naturally is part of your identity
I have used Arch in the past. Installed manually without Archinstall in case you might be wondering. I firmly believe using Arch is not a significant achievement
