Not only is the owner pretty right wing, he spend a fair amount of money helping get California’s Prop 8 passed, which made same sex marriage illegal until it was nationally legalized… There’s no guarantee of this but I suspect it would have failed without his involvement helping it along, so yeah, I’ll never touch one of his products if I can avoid it
I haven’t in many years but I might start back up now that I’ve finally switched my PC
XanderOS way tf back in 2005 or 2006, but mostly just messed around and had no clue what I was doing with it… After that I did a Gentoo install. Been kinda off and on with Linux since, flirting with the possibility of switching to it fully but never actually making the jump until last year when I built a new machine and put Mint on it.
The times I think about switching back, I just think back to the first month on Linux full time when I realized I was no longer constantly pissed off at everything my system was doing I didn’t want it to do or not doing that I did want. And a lot of it wasn’t even conscious anymore, like just realizing that a constant background radiation was just … Not there anymore.
Of course, having to use it at work every day still helps remind me… But I’m working on at least making my workstation into a Linux box, even if the servers are still going to be Windows.
