“I have no idea what’s going on and no interest in trying to figure it out because I’m very angry!”

I just don’t see why you’d be willing to carry one of these things around—in addition to a phone, most likely—when you could have something convenient (a single good smartphone) or powerful (a laptop).

This is the kind of inquisitive mind that goes into technology punditry.

Look, why not just say that you recognize it’s not for you, because you love open source more than air, but allow that other people might like it? While it’s not the Macalope’s cup of tea, he can see why other people use Linux. And not just because they’re anti-government nuts with tremendous neck beards who have difficulty interacting with other people, so they tend to have to support their own hardware and software.

Not because.
