Many of us are notorious fence-sitters. This video attempts to explore some of the psychology of our profound hesitation when switching operating systems. I will share my personal experience, talk about some of the fears we face when making big changes, offer some warm encouragement, and do it all without a whiff of the elitist technobabble that tends to rear its ugly head in Linux discussions.

Or edit a word doc and send it back and have it not be screwed up.

It will be screwed up.

And it's normal. Things get screwed up.

Thinking that abusive monopoly is better than things screwing up a bit here and there is just plain dystopian madness.

I'm so fucking tired of people around not caring about any deep issues, but suddenly becoming perfectionist in cases where that has been advertised to them as norm.
