I am just very curious what peoples stories are. And if you are not using Linux what is holding you back?

No judgement of any kind, just pure curiosity.

Oh damn, I can't imagine how rough it must have been in 2007, Linux has definitely came a very very long way. Props to you for sticking around through all the issues :)

From what I been hearing from people Apple is not that bad either, but personally it just confuses the hell out of me.

I don't like Apple because it forces you to do things the way they think you should do things, rather than letting you customize to do the way you prefer (like UI things). But it does work well for software development, data crunching, interfacing with HPC and office tools, so 🤷🏻‍♀️
