There are many Taboo opinions and thought tracks on HN that guarantee downvoting and as a result anyone not exposed to them in advance might be inclined to think that they must be heresies that should never be considered by the intelligentsia. Example https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=25768269 https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=25768269 And things that contradict The Great Stallman teachings like TiVoization (even in self-driving cars) or saying that something can be done more efficiently with Windows (or just not Linux/OSS in general) or that plenty of ML is outright useless BS that does more harm that good. Edit: Thanks to whoever unflagged the HN post! Let's see how long it'll stay unflagged this time!

> or saying that something can be done more efficiently with Windows are people here this naive?

  I loved developing all kinds of command line and UI tools for Windows, so I might be a little biased, but I found the Linux equivalents..well..not as easy and straightforward to say the least. But, there is countless posts here passionately defending and stating otherwise, that I don't even know if I should bring it up in a discussion. What do you think?

Well, I think very often commands have very not intuitive names of parameters, very often some seemingly random letters When it comes to me, I use Linux for server related stuff, hosting my things and stuff, also I like raw terminal Linux because there's nothing happening, so no distractions but day-to-day I use Windows.
