I realized why I enjoy Linux so much and why I've stuck with it all these years (slight vent)...

Definitely agree with this sentiment. Another aspect for myself -- When I tell Linux to do something, it fucking does something. No questions, no obfuscating, no disallowing in order to "save me from myself". I have a significantly increased sense of control over MY hardware with Linux.

It is frankly unfathomable to consider going back to the telemetry / spyware laden corporate controlled systems of the mainstream OSes.

The recent criticism of Linus Tech Tips, explained

I've legitimately never understood the appeal of his channel. Linus always came off as smug to me -- not in the way he talks to the camera necessarily but in the way he talks to his guest / colleague / other person on screen. And based on what little I have seen, the ego certainly doesn't seem justified. Plus there are a multitude of other "gadget / tech" channels available (that don't interrupt every 3rd sentence to hock some overpriced merch).

But there's no accounting for taste so, to each their own I guess.
