    Me every time someone says to use Libreoffice instead of Word (LibO still murders my work with tables and text boxes) or give up on VR for linux because it will never be supported (have to use Windows to run VR)

      What you are describing is another type of defense mechanism. Which is in the core the same kind of issue. The corporations are still winning you. Just with some people, they stuck in the past because of this. You are stuck in proprietary software because of that. What needs to be done, is effort to make everything modern be free. Not disregard it and say that you “have to” use something proprietary.

        Not a defense mechanism when I’ve spent entire days trying to make those things work… only for it to not work anyway.

          Giving up on either side is a losing position to have.

          Though trying to make everything work 100% at the first go is also a problem. It is better ( and less cluttered ) to do one thing at the time. It makes it seem more manageable.

            Yes, one at a time, also, just getting it to work period and not have it break on a system update.
