I think they talk about it so much because it’s a large time investment, so it becomes just as much of a hobby as it is an operating system. That’s why you don’t see post after post about using Windows or MacOS.

Take my opinion with a grain of salt. The last time I ran Linux it was red hat, and that shit took a ton of forum research to cobble together to my liking and support all peripheral functions. I understand it’s easier these days.
