Padme is right. My windows using friends are always mad about some change or another and I'm just chill as a cucumber.

I'm very much not-chill for a variety of reasons. Mainly because it's a prime example of what's been made abundantly clear the last couple of years: once you get users on your platform, they will never leave, regardless of how much abuse you throw at them.

For another, there's a stupid idiom that goes around all the time that goes something along the lines of "if you don't like it, don't buy/use/do it!" as if their decisions don't affect your personal choices. A prime example is headphone jacks on phones. Linux has the potential to be so much more useful with even a miniscule fraction of the funding (like 0.001%) that companies like MS and Apple have.

It's incredibly frustrating asking people to consider doing something in their own best interests and being mocked and ridiculed in return or even listening to them excuse and defend their abusers.
