       let's be real. we all use what we have in front of us because we believe it is more acceptable, given what it demands of us, than other options we believe available.linux users often don't have money for licenses and shit, and while piracy is a valid solution to that so too is going "fuck this capitalism stuff, let's just do it ourselves" and we should empower that.win users often don't have the latitude or info to make sweeping OS changes on the systems they have access to.

       likewise, mac users may have tons of money to throw at a problem but thanks to the needs of their work or creative environment feel that this is an operational cost, not a luxury one. the price of business in a capitalist society that undervalues their labor.we all make compromises in some places because there simply is no ethical consumption. we surrender something, always - linux users surrender their comfort and time, win/mac users their cash and personal security. trades.

       to be clear, linux users should not have to work so hard to agitate for change on a platform level. we need to empower our dev friends to build the worlds we're gonna need to operate in tomorrow, or the whole thing reverts to corporate monopoly.likewise when we fail to see corp engaged humans as humans, we see them as monolithic extensions of those corporations, despite them having full, rich inner lives - many, if not most, of which revolving around dismantling shit elsewhere
