I started using Linux many moons ago when the LAMP stack was common for web development. (Linux, Apache, Mysql, PHP). But that was only on servers. It's only in the last couple of years I've switched to seriously using Linux on the Desktop. I finally got fed up of Microsoft writing software as if using their OS meant they owned my machine and they could do what they liked with it. So I've switched. While windows still sits on a partition due to a couple of games, I find I'm going months without needing to touch it. I suspect I'll be rid of windows entirely in the near future.
I mean people are going to put their hot takes wherever made them think of it. Just down vote and don't engage. Unless especially egregious then report them
Not that they have much incentive in the first place. As history has shown, developers are quite happy NOT to make Linux ports at all. The market just isn't big enough to care.

I'd be more worried if someone who uses the internet to such a degree that they use Lemmy over Reddit, on a programming forum, didn't get the reference. This is famous hacker lore at this point.
I used to be a tabs guy, somepoint over time, especially when I realized some of the edge cases I have in formatting only remain consistent when using spaces, I switched.
Considering the many millions of steam accounts. A 1% increase is nothing to sniff at.
