Yeah, but another thing in common with them. - thinking their anecdotes matter.

Atheist critical of the Abrahamic dick skinning death cult, regularly posting memes and content regarding that on Gab.
Draws parallels between religion and cult-like LiGNUxers, and at times delves into the psychology of both.

The vocal minority mainly. The Linux advocates that are historically “new tech-phobic” until Linux, Linus, or RMS does it. The anti-AI fervor has quelled since Linus’s announcement about it for example.

Many Linux users boast about using multiple computers for redundant tasks, as well as virtual machines. -It doesn’t even have to be bots. They’ve published on various sites like Reddit how to manipulate the steam survey pop-up. Don’t trust any stats on Linux. -Even if it was part of the US census, they couldn’t get an accurate number.

Propaganda.

What is so precious on Linux that you cannot do on Windows? Dynamic Tiling? - Komorebi. TUI file manager? -Yazi. Custom themes, and bars? -Yep. Bash? -Yep (along with uutils). GPU accelerated terminal emulator? - multiple including Windows Terminal.
What you’re giving up on Linux is most professional industry standard productivity software, and many of the games real gamers actually want to play (not all crap that pirates collect). You’re giving up security by default (Arch, Gentoo and the like along with TWMs will have people storing browser passwords in the equivalent of a text file for just one example). You give up an OS that evolved to deal better without ECC memory (todays Windows is far more resilient to bitflips).
Even FOSS software runs better on Windows. VLC causing Linux to seize was just one of many examples.
So yes, I agree that for 99.9% of people, dual booting is a waste of disk space.
