I don't know if it was stupid or not, but I wouldn't know how to use Linux at all without switching to Ubuntu desktop from Mac OS when I couldn't afford the Apple premium after college. It released me from dependency hell, forced me to learn VIM, and vastly improved the quality of my Google searches when I had a development question. As a result, I'm a much better developer today than if I had been able to afford a Mac.
