the main reason I use Linux despite how frustrating and headachy it constantly is is that I'm allergic to the feeling that some corporation is shaping what I do with my computer and how. I found Windows 95 and the first OSX to be so condescending and constraining as to be intolerable, and both only got worse with time. I hate Linux and the STEM-poisoned culture surrounding it, but there's no alternative.
however so much of computing now is web or mobile, and as years pass more and more migrates to it. and then when I'm using stuff that's garden-walled in other people's servers or that's only available in "no root in your own device: the OS" Android, I have to swallow the same sensation I've been working hard to escape all my life: that a USA corporation put a straightjacket on me.
