I use Linux but can not stand Linux users on here. As soon as there is any conversation about windows there's a line of people "why aren't you using linux?!" As if it's the solution for everything. Linux users have become the vegans of the internet.

Hey, another Linux user here. I like to push for using the best tool for the job, whatever that might be, and I think more people should.

I think a lot of Linux users need to understand their solution is often creates more problems than it solves, including for themselves. I've been guilty of this too, where if I see a distro solving my current problem with XYZ, I'd switch to it, only for the switch to cause many other problems in the process, so I'm worse off than I started.
