Were you a Linux user in the dark days of hardware fiddling? My perception is that there are getting to be two kinds of Linux users these days: 1. People who relished in the technical challenge of maintaining a Linux machine in the olden days and would use Linux no matter what. 2. People who installed it for whatever reason in recent times on compatible hardware, and literally have no idea how it’s any different than MacOS or Windows from a difficulty perspective. My perspective nowadays is that Linux is a cake walk... but I started with Yggdrasil, Slackware, and the BSDs in the 90s. Hackintoshes seem like a lot of work to buy oneself into Apple serfdom. The idea that people can newly encounter Linux in 2017, and not be turned off by usability, hardware compatibility, or software availability is pretty exciting to me.
