Obligatory Linux comment when speaking about Microsoft, windows or anything related.

I don't have Linux but you guys make it hard to like it.

I run Outlook in Wine or on the Web on Linux in a VM on Mac and make everyone mad.

Dude you are on HN no Reddit, most people around here use Linux

I was on Windows for 30 years. I advocated for it and even got a few CTOs to switch from MacOS to Windows because they saw Windows was actually more capable than Apple propaganda would have you believe.

I'm not really sure how you figure that my comment makes Linux hard to like.

I simply don't like the direction Microsoft is headed in, and haven't for some time. Many people don't like it. Microsoft recently may have had a realization as a company and they might change their current direction, but I still doubt I'll go back. They expected me to pay twice for software that I paid a "lifetime license" for, only because I upgraded the CPU in my computer. If you think that somehow makes Linux look bad, then I don't know man...

I run my email inside a virtual machine, so it was easy for me to switch over from Windows/Outlook to Linux/Thunderbird. I certainly don't expect everyone to switch.
