      I don’t hate Microsoft, I hate nonfree software. I happily use free software developed by Microsoft, eg VSCodium.

        I even avoid that, because of their EEE past. Also because if I’m going to run something as heavy as VSCodium, I might as well run Jetbrains IDEs which I personally find more ergonomic. Nonfree software, sure, but I like them as a company generally.

          I like the JetBrains IDEs too from a purely practical perspective, but I would still rather use FOSS VSCodium than a nonfree JetBrains IDE. Those that are FOSS are a different story.

      I switched to Linux because I hate Windows. I also dislike Microsoft, but I would have tolerated them like I tolerate my health insurance company if they didn’t make the UX increasingly terrible.

      I could have installed iOS but Linux is more reliable for gaming afaik, and iOS may start enshittifying at any moment.
