Same, I've always been android and windows and heavily anti-apple

It's like people have completely forgotten what Apple was like before the iPhone

I don't know if I've ever really been pro-Microsoft, they had just been what gave me the freedom to get the job done. I even had a Windows CE phone back in the day, because it worked.

When Microsoft started monetizing every little thing and became outright hostile with its users is when I made the switch to Linux, the learning curve was steep but it didn't take very long to get a handle on it

Early on I think I made the mistake of trying to hurry to get a windows experience out of Linux when I should have started where I started with Microsoft, at the command prompt

I used DOS for a long time before Windows 3.1 was even on the scene. Thinking back, even when I was using Windows at first, I was always finding myself bringing up a command prompt to do things.

Linux brings back some of that nostalgia, but it is so incredibly more capable and customizable than windows
