Came here to say this. I was super surprised when I first found out that this came from Spy Kids.

I installed one when I made my first Linux PC last month in case I needed to use Windows for anything that wouldn’t work fine enough on Linux.

One month later and I still haven’t used it for anything. I think I may have underestimated how fleshed out the Linux ecosystem is these days.

It’s mostly just a stereotype. I know plenty of young white femboys who use Windows, and I’m a Linux user who is young and white but definitely not a femboy. I would say 90% of Linux users probably know how to program though.

Just made the switch at the end of December alongside making my new PC. Feels very refreshing to actually be in control of my own computer. I’ve barely run into any issues gaming either, which is a welcome surprise - Proton remains one of the best things Valve has ever done.

I feel ya. I've got the same thing. Luckily I'm still young and don't have kids so I can at least adjust my schedule consistently, but man it sucks having to get up at 6 am on the weekends. The real frustrating bit is that I could totally get up 2 hours later if only I could WFH consistently. But corporate doesn't like remote work so I have to go into the office at least 2 days a week to sit at a computer all day and program. Wonderful world we live in

I think the joke is that people who don’t know how years work would think 4999 BC was before 5000.
