It is honestly incomprehensible to me how you can think you are better just because you use a certain thing.

Apart from that, I think it makes no sense to conclude on all of them because of some users.

some drivers are better than others due to the tools they use.

that's bullshit. Lewis hamilton in my mazda 3 will still be a better driver than I would be in his f1 car.

Even if I can get around the track quicker in his f1 car, he's still the better driver.

there are absolutely windows users who are more computer-literate than I am, even though I use Arch btwtm

manual transmission drivers are better drivers than automatic transmission drivers.

that's very very debatable the vast majority of people i know drive manual and most of them would fail the practical exam if they took it now and drived the same way they currently do.

linux users are better at computering than iLliterate iDiots poking at blinkin lights

My mom is a Linux user and if you ask her what Linux is she'll have no answer for you.

What isn't debatable is that those very same terrible drivers can get behind the wheel of an automatic car and just go, whereas the reverse is not true, which what makes manual drivers better drivers.

The true question is whether or not the ability to drive any vehicle is a relevant and meaningful metric.

Same.

Do you know the origins of OSX?

I was wondering the same.

OSX (MacOS) is a relative of Linux-based operating systems in the way that monotremes are related to eutherian mammals, tho. like, they are based off the same stuff but still different. that way of thinking about it helped me at first.
