LOL! xD

I know you didn't mean it that way, but I didn't intend to bash any OS in any way.

I'm primarily interested in using Perl as universal and low barrier as possible.

I'm surprised how many people here are very vocal about their tribal instincts regarding OS, IDE, other languages (including P6/Raku) or even REPL/Debugger.

There was a time where I thought the defining quality of the Perl community was its tolerance and open mindedness, but maybe the composition changed to the worse.

PS: FWIW: My job requires me to work on Win, but I'm still considering me very much a Linux person.

but I'm still considering me very much a Linux person.

If that's a consolation, so was Stanley Kubrick (ahead of his time as usual): https://retrocomputingforum.com/t/stanley-kubrick-wanted-a-unix-machine-for-christmas/2183 (via https://retrocomputingforum.com - no affiliation, just a non-retro follower)

LanX, I am not a lawyer but that's probably a health hazard, like working with asbestos in the old days :)

Count me in (*n[ui]x, !python) and I well hope it is not just a "tribal instinct". My motivation is simply to keep the world sanity count at Age_of_Enlightenment levels. No man is an island, someone out there using m$ affects me. e.g. when my internet banking supported only that dreaded 666, the internet explorer. Albeit, all above served with a big smiling face, I am not condensending yet Fletch++.

Untested theory: using m$ increases entropy. Although keeping track on all of us seems lke it is reducing it (re: spying,filing&archiving).
