    I use it because I’m more comfortable with working with it under the hood than Windows (day job experience). It’s also less of a PITA when it comes to bloat, updates (not just OS, general software too) and telemetry.

    I did use Windows on my desktop until about a year ago to be fair, as I didn’t feel gaming was quite good enough - but after trying again it’s brilliant now. No reason to ever go back.

    Usually if you’re involved in something that is genuinely urgent, it doesn’t even need to be said. I remember being in a situation where a server wasn’t starting back up after some changes while we were in the data centre, and if it didn’t come online by the time we left the office, one of the largest pay as you go networks in the UK would have gone down lol. If a PM had approached us with something ‘urgent’ during this they’d have to run away from projectile rack mounts…

    I’ve used vim for so many years now that it blows my mind when people act like it’s difficult to use.

    The same thing with installing Arch and even Gentoo … if you’ve got good experience with something like redhat/centos and can read documentation it’s a breeze.
