I didn't know any of this man's views, I shouldve started using linux sooner
There are many good reasons to use and learn Linux. Political ideology of its creators is very much not one of them.
They're largely professional people: their politics almost never influence what they're building in a practical way.
The (generally) accepting and tolerant culture within which it was produced is part of what made it possible for it to be what it is, but you won't really see that in the software itself.
honestly, do it. if your laptop gets old, no matter windows or mac, it will be dropped by windows/apple. Linux will make it last a lot longer and run it a lot smoother. Do the switch. And you can actually have your computer the way you want it, not how apple or windows want it to be.
