I never deal with any of this sort of thing.

People think I'm weird or must struggle with bad UIs for being picky and only using older FOSS apps but IME your life/UX is actually a lot better for it.

Same. About two years ago I fully switched to Linux, and at some point this made me realise the full depth of all the Linux and OSS arguments when my perspective wasn't limited to Windows concepts anymore.

By now I do almost everything in the terminal except for web browsing. And what can I say, I do not miss the popups, confusing menus, dark UI patterns, and all the other bad ideas.
