I just use technology. I never was a windows kind of person, just didn't gell with it. I was more unix. I know that system. I know what it does and why it does things. I could have done that with windows, but just never wanted to.
I guess I was more of a tinkerer than the author of this piece, which is why I went with Linux. And I'm talking Linux when Linus first put it out there decades ago.
Before that, I tinkered with DOS, of course. Windows 3.1. OS/2. Windows NT. But, like I said, it just didn't gell with me. Linux was where it was, and still is. Yes, I've gotten Macs because again, with OS X, they were unix and I knew the underlaying structure. I didn't really find the need to install a gaming OS like Windows, because I'm not a gamer and that's basically all I saw it offering.
And now? I don't allow any Google products in my home. I don't even use Chrome nor any Chromium derived browser. And absolutely no Android.
No Amazon Alexa anything.
No "smart" devices at all. No "Internet of Things" BS.
