I uninstalled gnu + linux and switched to windows.

  Thug life! :-) But why would you punish yourself for someone else's acts?

    I realize this is a joke thread, but in all seriousness people completely stopped using ReiserFS after Hans Reiser was jailed for murder - despite the filesystem's great performance under some workloads (I believe it was best in breed for small files). I wonder if the effect would have been so dramatic if it hadn't literally been named after him - people aren't necessarily logical about these things. Of course, that moment's hesitation when picking a filesystem in an installer menu is quite different from choosing an OS :)

      Reiser3 was in maintenance mode and Reiser4 was unstable.[1] [1] https://web.archive.org/web/20150921073059/article.gmane.org/gmane.linux.suse.opensuse.devel/4312 https://web.archive.org/web/20150921073059/article.gmane.org...

        Er, aren't all filesystems either "in maintenance mode" or "unstable"?

          Sh*t, I'm using Btrfs which is not in maintenance mode.

          Some are stable but continue to evolve.

      I indeed can see myself boycotting a project on moral grounds if there is a decent alternative (and even without a decent alternative in some cases, I guess)

  ... perhaps it's time to learn some BSD?
