And it's really not the perfect subject for all situations. Especially with people who would really like to not be confronted with the ethical perspectives of using big tech.

I switched to Linux less than a year ago, so I just count on it soon being a new normal I don't need to sell to others all the time.

...But if they knew how well it works, then...

I'll try to remember that.

I've been using Linux and free software generally since the 90s. Even though I want to, I try to avoid proselytizing. It comes up naturally in conversation when people complain about proprietary software and operating systems. I will tell them what software/OS I use and an honest assessment of what it is like to use. People don't seem to mind that and occasionally they will be inspired to look into it further.

I dream of never having to use a computer again and living on a goat farm
