Linux for embedded development makes sense. I mean, the embedded systems you were developing for were probably running Linux, right? Or are you so old that you were doing shit for proprietary dinosaur shit like VxWorks?

Nowadays, embedded is being rebranded as IoT, isn't it? Like traditional embedded systems, but with more connectivity (and thus more security concerns).

But that being said, not everyone is an embedded systems developer, so it's not great for everything.

I'm also a fan of commercial software, which is often proprietary. I'm not a freetard. I'm not the kind of guy who can just use vim and gcc and rxvt for development. I need real IDEs and shit. Old people might call me casual, but whatever.

The Linux DE experience is really lacking when compared to macOS, or even Windows. A lot of Linux users see it as a rite of passage to spend a lot of time to configure their tiling window manager or desktop environment with spinning cubes or whatever. It's been a while since I used a linux distro for myself, though I recently installed Ubuntu for someone else (because they were prone to getting malware in Windows because they sucked at using computers), and Unity wasn't that great. It seemed clunky and less polished than the UX experience I'm used to on Windows and macOS. Everything about it seemed off-brand.
