    I must admit, “Linux becomes the refuge of luddites” was never on any bingo card I could have conceived of for 202X.

      Huh? Isn’t this about Microsoft changing out a button with a well established use, in order to take advantage of muscle memory and the unobservant?

      Don’t think it’s much to do with people opposing technological advancement, but rather with opposing another company wanting to making a fool of them.

        More over being a luddite on Linux is like a fish trying to breathe in a public swimming pool; it works until the chlorine poisoning sets in.
        Linux adopts new technology constantly.

          The difference is that Linux generally adopts new technology because it enhances the user experience in some way, and not because it maximizes ad revenue and telemetry.
