I studied IQ tests for a bit and scored 155 on the MENSA exam in the 1990s. Never took another one and I’m sticking with that forever.

I have no problem with Linux, but I’m worried that the 50 or so applications I’ve installed will not be compatible. And saying there’s a Linux alternative doesn’t fill me with hope, usually I’ll have tried and discarded 10 other programs just to get one that acts how I want.
