> it always feels possible to fix something with Linux. It might an annoying PITA problem, but I can probably figure it out if I care enough to. With Windows (or Mac) when I encounter a problem with the OS, I never know if it's fixable or something the parent company insists on forcing on users. This is such an important point imo. It characterizes an essential aspect of why using GNU/Linux just feels good to me, and why I feel boxed in on the big two proprietary desktops these days. On Linux, the problems feel like my mess, my unfinished chores. They might be annoying, but they're not an invasion.
