Couldn’t agree more! Hell, it doesn’t even have to be Linux. AIX on an LPAR? Cool. Irix on an old SGI workstation? You do you, man. MacOS and you use open source tools? Get it, man! Solaris on x86? You’re a sick fuck, but hey, it takes all types to make the world go round, you Larry Ellison supporting twat. Anyways, just use a unix variant, any of them.
The biggest issue here is that (at least in Texas), your ID has to be checked by a specific company.
