       So I’m having a bit of a mental tug of war here. I like Linux and have used it often in the past. However, this past year I’ve realized I don’t run a single linux machine in my house now. I’ve got my kids set up with a Win 10 desktop because Win 10 has some great parental control features ie., limiting screen time, blocking domains,  (without using DNS stuff and as long as you’re using edge) and reporting usage activity. On my personal desktop I run Win10 as well.

       Cont. My reason for doing so are probably not the best but they matter to me. I play CoD and I have some games that use proprietary launchers. On the other hand I understand how Win 10 harvests and sells usage data and think I value my privacy? I guess in short am I part of the problem in doing this and do I actually belong here?

       @CaptainIndustry If you are thinking about how users on this platform would react badly to the fact that you are using Windows - I am 100% sure that the vast majority of the users here on the platform (even this instance) is using Windows as their daily driver.This instance (or even fediverse) is not limited to users that runs a single platform, instead we just encourage the use "other platforms", such as Linux or BSD based ones.Noone is looking down on you for doing otherwhise :)

       @selea Thanks for the input. I just felt conflicted, at work and other places I always push for FOSS but at home I use the same proprietary crap I’m trying to convince everyone else not to use. I have changed course though, On my personal desktop I’ve returned to Ubuntu 20.04 (although I feel like Manjaro is a better option).
