Using Windows is unnecessary suffering. You suffer only because someone decided that you should suffer.

Using Linux, you suffer for better reasons that may even be worth it in some cases.

Exactly! You suffer regardless of what you choose, but how you suffer and what for differs.

  • You suffer for a corporation when you use Windows, and they get richer and greedier.

    When you use Linux, your suffering might push you to break and waste a weekend fixing an upstream bug, from which the entire world benefits for free. When you use Linux, your suffering builds positive karma, and next life you get to reincarnate as a cat, released from the hell that is software engineering.
