5. I don't write code

and yes Linux does run my most used programs.
Firefox, Thunderbird, LibreOffice, Audacity, GIMP, Quake, MidAir2, Tribes1, Audour, Brave, Google Chrome, UnReal, SweetHome 3d, Space Cadet Pinball, NoMachine, AnyDesk, TeamViewer, Kodi, Plex, K3B, FreeTube, Steam, Wine, VirtualBox, VMWare, Adobe Acrobat, Calibre, VLC, Windows Media Player, OBS Studio, thousands of games through Steam as well as native Linux games, thousands of Windows applications through Wine and on and on. More programs than I have the energy to type to off set your pitiful effort to keep a myth that comes from the 1990's alive that Linux requires users to "write code".

Microsoft has always been and still is an abusive corporate monopoly that does not respect consumer user rights and privacy.

NO progressive Democrat should support them or act as a shill for their products.

The Republicans under Bush are the reason the company wasn't broken up in 2000.

Do you really believe that while using Linux I have to "write code" to participate here at DU????
