That's hilarious. I definitely feel you. :p Between idealism and pragmatism, the latter definitely wins when push comes to shove. It's also easy for me to posture as though I use GNU/Linux out of bitter, noble sacrifice and righteous fury toward Microsoft, but that's like 1% of it. The 99% of it is pragmatism. I happened to have lucked into a set of priorities where Linux is the more pragmatic choice (as long as you pay the upfront cost to learn it). I don't need to use PhotoShop or audio synthesis software, for example. I just program. So, for me, Linux works great! :D I also play (mostly non-AAA) video games. If Valve hadn't supported Linux, you best believe I wouldn't have survived on it. So, actually, my real fear isn't that I get complacent about my ideals; rather, it's that my priority matrix never shift such that the optimum solution begins to run against my ideals. (That's partly the case now that Microsoft owns GitHub, since I use GitHub, and I try to forget that Microsoft bought it every time I use it.)
