Working on / advocating Linux & FOSS since 92. Always looking for small projects to help with project mgmt & promotion. At the same time, people should use what works for them. Only thing I hate, is hate!
Also love to play Path of Exile and other ARPGs.

You know, I am a fan and a promoter of Linux/FOSS. I try not to crap on the tools people use, including Windows, as I am about freedom of choice. However, it is tough to not shit on Microsoft and Windows these days. This is just evil playing on user's ignorance.

Nice article. I started off on BSD before Linux was a thing in my teens. I have played with the rest, except for A/UX. Amiga UNIX was one that I had high hopes for at that time.
