I'm starting to realize how irredeemable Microsoft is (pun intended) and I would love to more heavily invest in linux as a developer.

The problem is not the amount of code but the endless sea of retards you're going to fight trying to contribute to anything. For every good idea anyone has there's going to be two 400 pound autists with purple hair overwriting your code citing some obscure shit from the 80s for why the software should stay nonfunctional and unintuitive.

Half of them probably corporate plants

@maxmustermann @Inginsub I actually am making some Linux software right now fwiw but I am already running into autism problems. Microsoft's way of handling right click context menus is completely fucking insane and direly complicated but it does work mostly. Gnomes way of doing it is just literally fucking stupid and unusable and I dont know what to do about it. It feels like I'm going to need to design something completely different for the linux case.
@PurpCat @RustyCrab i think ubuntu can update without requiring the root password, however
the first time i installed ubuntu, it self destructed in 2 months
the second time i installed ubuntu, i wanted to know how to move or hide the taskbar and was told to go fuck myself
the third time i installed ubuntu, it somehow fucked up the uefi partition during installation
