# Linux

- Just kidding, we'll be talking about the love of my life, Linux

- Why do I hate MacOS?

  - Because Tim Cook is 🌈

- Why Linux?

  - Many theories floating around
    - I'm retarded
    - I want differnet things, you want different things, we're not the same [meme]

- What are Linux users?

  - a bunch of people who hate each other's distros, but hate Apple more

- Why Nix?

  - ~OCD~ I'm very specific
    - terminal on desktop 2, firefox on 3
    - lid close should not make laptop sleep
    - caps and escapse should be swapped
    - windows should look a certain way
    - new window should break in half and open a certain way - need predictability
    - but settings should open as flaoting
  - configurability
  - reproducibility
  - faster setup

- Accuracy

  - demo changing color in settings.py
    - worked because OS is configured so that a given app is present at a given place
    - because vim has keys which will do exactly the same thing on the same keypress

- Is it perfect?

  - Ofcourse not. Far from it. For example, I cannot see my mouse pointer on my termial and its irritating when I want to copy paste errors for searching
  - bluetooth wans't working until last week
  - battery life 5 hours compared to maybe 9 hours on your devices
  - but I still prefer these imperfections over MacOS
