Hey man, yeah, I get it. I worry a lot about sounding like a conspiracy theorist; a real Chicken Little.

But when I look internally and ask myself why I make these posts, why I conspire so much about unknown futures, I come to two most likely outcomes:

I'm trying to trick you into installing Linux for some reason. Selfishly I guess if there's a larger userbase demanding support for things then I can expect better support for myself. Or I'm just trying to sound like a pompous smartass in front of internet strangers. But those are a little obtuse.
I see a bunch of people standing in what I perceive (possibly incorrectly, but nonetheless) a trap and I'm shouting, "Hey, get outta there now before it springs!" because I have general empathy towards other people.

Worst case I'm wrong and I look a fool. I really don't have a problem with that. I know who I'd trust if the positions were switched 💯
