When I'm in the terminal, there is no better OS on Earth for writing code than Linux. I delight in it, I consider myself fortunate to be able to so as a living.

When I'm in the terminal, there is no better OS on Earth for writing code than Linux. I delight in it, I consider myself fortunate to be able to so as a living. However, when I'm done for the day and don't have any itch to hack on something, I would rather be in any other operating system than Linux. I think FOSS is great, but I also don't have any issue paying for something that provides a better experience. Getting paid to make software is how I eat. Regardless, getting a friend to skip Windows 10 is a dick move, as they could miss the free upgrade window unsure of how to restore Windows before the free upgrade window closes. VirtualBox is a pretty good way to introduce someone to Linux without being a dick about it.
