People that tell you to use *nix are so limited in a technical sense, they cannot be trusted

It's just a tool, it's like somebody telling you that you need to use a certain brand of Philips head screwdrivers because they're the best tool

It's revelatory that the person does not have a robust understanding of technology really

And before you come at me, I spent more than two decades in tech, two of them were professional game developer and web startup dude, don't even try me.

The KISS (keep it simple, stupid) philosophy often results in *nix being the best tool for the job (philosophically speaking). Other OSs obviously have their merit, but when the goal is simplicity (in terms of "moving parts") then LFS, DSL, or Gentoo are going to be the simplest (in terms of moving parts) options for most tasks.

You have proven my point, you don't seem to understand that *nix and all it's variants, and all the FOSS built on top of it it's just one set of tools in a gigantic suite of available tools, and there are specific uses, and it's totally inappropriate to ever talk about it as the best tool for anything, ever.

What alternatives would you suggest then? Genuinely, because I as you have pointed out don't understand there's this whole gigantic suite of tools available to me that I haven't managed to come across in my searching for the things to meet my technological needs thusfar.

Quickly gets lost in definitions, but the reason men are at the "top" of all societies, is because men are biologically advantaged to do so

You're not going to tell me 2 million years of human evolution doesn't know what it's doing

It does not mean that women or any other group are not valuable, it's just that nature has slotted us in our places
