Are you implying Windows and Mac OS isn't insanely bloated and reliant on third party distributions? Windows and Mac is increasingly written by outsourced Indians on a lower and lower budget, it's getting worse every year.
The idea of Linux having some "culture" that makes it so you can't use it is utterly retarded. I've used Linux for years and I don't interact with anyone.
It's an Operating System. Not a community you need to take part in.
