anyone who says “just use linux” has clearly not: - tried to play aaa games seriously - done web dev without fighting the os for at least an entire work day to get started - docker - played a game and streamed at the same time - drivers (daily linux user btw)

It's commonly known that short feedback loops are better for productivity. That's why I prefer statically typed languages because I'd rather hear about problems in my code from a compiler rather than an angry user.
