I've seen (and also not understood) the use of Slack/Gitter/etc. but the "not running Linux" part is a surprise to me, personally.

I've used Linux or BSD on all of my personal machines for a long time, and assumed, wrongly I guess, that most other people were in the same boat. I'm not sure it's a problem, but it's interesting.

Agreed, I've been using desktop Linux on my home laptop for more than a decade now. Every piece of software I want, wireless printers, videogames (many AAA!), everything just works.

I'm puzzled. I think it was just the unfortunate rise of mobile.

In my experience, using Linux until even recently had some rough edges, which I personally was ready to deal with. I suppose some don't want to do it. But I've always seen not doing it as not modeling our values, same way the article suggests, so it was an obvious choice for me, despite the learning curve.
