At the end of the day you should use what you prefer. As for why I use Linux, it comes down to the core design philosophy. Apple designs their products for the happy path. Stray from that and you’re going to be fighting the OS for every inch. Linux is designed for hackers (as in the original term, not security). It not only allows you to do what you want, but encourages it.

As an example, consider the number of window managers available on Linux. There are the two big ones that are closer to the “happy path” (Gnome & KDE), but there are also dozens of other mature options. i3. bspwm. sway. Xmonad. Awesome. There are so many options, and for the most part you really can stitch your OS together from the parts you like. Except for systemd… but that is a whole different conversation.

There are plenty of other reasons I use Linux for everything I can, but that’s the selfish one. And it’s why I feel downright uncomfortable using anything else at this point.

Justin Alexander has a book on GMing coming out this year that I think will be very good. His blog is a wealth of good information

Running a new group through 2e Abomination Vaults. I’m also excited to run Indigo Isles at some point, although don’t have the time to do that right now. The AP looks really good though!

Happy to see pathfinder get more love the last few months
