Ah well, this might explain things. See, I was 21 in 2004, still young with a head full of dreams, and a belief that I could change the world… If I found Linux now, at 40, then yes, I doubt I would have had a single year of advocacy in me!
Just some old guy who’s baffled by everything.

I find that mighty impressive! I’d blame the folly of youth for myself, but I assume you were also quite young all the way back then. It’s entirely possible that I was/am simply an idiot 🤔
Not to alarm you, but you may have a period of 5-10 years where you really can’t shut up about it… it’ll pass, though, honest :)
Oh, hush now, of course I care! I’m just agreeing with OP that there is probably a little too much of it or, more precisely, not enough “other” topics of conversation yet. It’ll come.
Hahaha, that’s very kind of you to say! I might have even pulled it off 20 years ago… Never say never, eh! ;)
Are you referring to those stripey sock wearers? Because I’m far too old to actually understand any of that. Plus, I wouldn’t even look very good in stripey socks anyway
I’ve exclusively used Linux on my computers since about 2001. At this point, I don’t care to see this much talk about it either.
It’s an operating system, it’s free (in both senses), it’s very powerful and ,frankly, it’s all I know how to use these days. However, I just don’t see the appeal of harping on about all the time. I use it exclusively, and I spend zero minutes per day actually thinking about it, the way a good operating system should be IMHO.
Some things being conserved is absolutely good. However, the “Conservative” government isn’t really all that conservative, is it? Unless you refer to conserving their own self interests, I’ll grant you they’re really good at that…
Oh and I am 40 years old and educated to masters level, not that that really should matter in the slightest. I do admit that I am pretty short sighted though, damn eyes just ain’t what they used to be. Thankfully I can fix that with glasses through our wonderful national health service… at least for now until the “conservatives” get rid of that too…
Personally I use Mate, and I set it up to mimic the feel of Windows 95/98 as much as possible. I like a UI that doesn’t get in my way.
You say you’ll disable the ad blocker for sites that don’t push malicious ads? I’ve reported half a dozen deepfake “investment” ads on YouTube in the last couple of months, and they have done nothing about it. The ads YouTube pushes are horrible!
