    You’re quite bold to assume that linux users haven’t built their houses with doors instead of windows.

    My social circles are filled with Linux / Unix die hards… and most of them are engineers first, pragmatists second, and linux just fills the philosophy.

    They ALL, each and every one, have windows available to them (or macos). If nothing else then dual booting, for games, for family, etc. (Some may deny it, but if you really dig into it, they have the ability… or a VM laying around, for those one offs, oh its for Work ™ so it doesn’t count).

    The online Linux or Die is a very vocal, but niche viewpoint that I never encounter in real life.

      I was planning to write, “I only use Linux on my computers”, while that is technically correct, I also have a few Windows VM’s and my partners PC is running windows, that came in handy when my Samsung laser printer forgot it’s network settings.

      So I can as well admit it, I am: Engineer first, Pragmatist second, and Linux is a good caulk for the rest.
