   AI Overview   
      
       Linux generally offers superior customization, hardware   
       choice, open-source freedom, and powerful developer tools over   
       macOS, allowing users to tailor the OS extensively, install it   
       on diverse (often cheaper) hardware, use powerful command-line   
       utilities (Bash, Docker), and benefit from community-driven   
       innovation, making it ideal for power users, developers, and   
       those prioritizing control and flexibility.   
      
   Bottom line: Linux makes me happy!

   Steady movement is more important than speed, much of the time.  So long   
   as there is a regular progression of stimuli to get your mental hooks   
   into, there is room for lateral movement.  Once this begins, its rate is   
   a matter of discretion.
