    I don’t disagree with you. It’s just that it’s not black and white. Your boss says no, you don’t try to go around. My wife says that she will only use Windows, yes dear. I use Debian, Raspbian, Windows 10, and Windows 11. Windows 10 feels the most comfortable and has the best compatibility. But yeah, I’m not a fanboi.

      My SO switched to Linux with their latest PC, since they don’t need anything specific. Never even noticed much of a difference. They even play old games on it just fine.

      I am in a priviledged position to not accept positions of work which hard-require Windows. I did work for companies with soft-requirements, but it was a corporate with solid Linux community, so they had workarounds for everything.

      I’m not saying it’s easy to live the FOSS dream, but if one has the priviledge, they should choose to do so.

        She knows Windows. I have thought of asking again but Linux isn’t exactly known for user friendliness, no matter the distro and WM.

        I agree with using FOSS when feasible.
