> The burn out is because your working on an single platform and refusing to even attempt for another project
If you only knew how ridiculous this statement is then you wouldn't have made it. I've spent about ten years working in the BSD community, sent some patches to FreeBSD just a few weeks ago, spent quite a lot of time improving the Go kqueue integration recently, have donated to both FreeBSD and OpenBSD over the years, I have VMs for all the BSDs (and illumos) and regularly test things with it if need be, etc. etc.
But that doesn't mean I expect everyone to make the same choices. Some people choose to support only Windows. That's fine. Some people choose to only support OpenBSD. That's fine. And some people choose to only support Linux. And that's fine too.
If you're getting burned out because other people aren't spending their free time in the fashion you wish then your burnout is 100% self-inflicted.
This kind of hostility towards Linux was already getting old back in the FreeBSD 4 days.
