Hah. Of the concept of operating systems, maybe. I can see one appreciating technical solutions and UX choices just as a matter of skill and execution. Actively fanboying for them? Getting into playground-style arguments where you root for your favorite? Nah. Seems super immature to me.

There aren't even that many of the things anymore. It's not like the old days, where every computer brand had their own. Where are the TOS fanboys these days? All them kids and their obnoxious modern software interfaces. That's not a OS, it's just graphics.

That is true for any fandom. Why is being a fan if flavour x software bad but being a fan of flavour x car or flavour x sports team is OK?

You are making a ton of assumptions about my opinions of car brand fans and sports fans that I am not ready to verify, friend.

playground-style arguments

Perfect description of your angry ranting ITT

Your derisive laughing in response to this valid question validates anyone's negative opinion of your trolling here

Man, the version of me that lives in your head is amazing. I'm gonna dress up as him next Halloween, twirly mustache and everything.
