And on the same note, I always cannot properly answer the questions like why do I use linux.

The thing is, there is 100s of general reasons (free software philosophy, faults of microsoft, it being free as in free beer etc) that are the same weight as some “I can do cool stuff here” reasons and the same as “I’m just comfortable using it to the point I’m no longer comfortable using windows and macos”

But any of those reasons are not properly conveyed to the people I talk to, and for them it looks like I’m just a stubborn geek that for some reason prefers some geeky stuff to having fun with them (the reason is - proprietary windows-only stuff they are forcing on me to use for something they want to do doesn’t work well on linux, and they become more convinced that linux is unusable ignoring my attempts to convey that this stuff is not supposed to even work here and it’s a miracle that I somehow got it to until this point where it finally broke)
