  • A combination of:

    • I was very curious about computing and trying different applications
    • I liked customizing and tinkering with my setup: Launcher, window manager, icons, etc.
    • I was a poor teenager

    On the windows side, there were neat apps like Stardock Windowblinds, for the most part, everything was paid and expensive for someone with no disposable income.

    Mind was blown when I realized everything I wanted was available for free! My first install was actually from a CD that came with a book I checked out from the public library

    “The study did not include people who are street-entrenched or who have serious addictions or mental health issues”

    Seems kind of disingenuous to leave out people who are addicted to alcohol or drugs. No, that’s not most of them, but yes that is some of them.

    The study simple ignores them so how can one make conclusions like “contrary to what people believe” and “the opposite of what people think” without actually considering the subject in question
