For people who apparently want to disconnect, they sure seem to obsess about it a lot.
It's like all the people from Team Fortress communities that constantly talk about Overwatch, while the Overwatch communities just kind of... exist.
Considering how pretty much all of the actual problems with Linux are due to the fact that many software and hardware vendors don't support it due to low market share, it makes sense that we'd be aware of what the OS with the vast majority of the market share is doing. I'd love to "disconnect" from Windows entirely and not care about it, similarly to how I couldn't tell you what version Mac OS is on right now, but we're not there yet.
I mean I want to disconnect from League of Legends, but now that I am slowly getting there it's kinda just funny how crappy the balancing is in places. Stuff that used to frustrate me to no end in the game, is now entertaining. Obviously cause it does not happen to me anymore. It's a mix of Schadenfreude and justification for me not playing the game anymore.
