I tinker and play with Linux all the time, on servers and VMs. Saying that "you don't love open source enough to use an open source OS" implies to me that OSS is intrinsically better and preferable to non-OSS, even if a closed-source alternative would be better for your personal needs. That strikes me as fairly dogmatic (although it's very possible I misread the original intent). I personally use OS X as my desktop OS because it suits my needs, despite contributing regularly to open source. I agree completely that there are many non-'fanatical' reasons to prefer Linux as a desktop OS.
