HAHAHA!
Why would anyone want to get used to a 1970s operating
system?

Because it's more reliable, more secure and has a better range of
utilities for doing real work than Bill Gates' monstrosity.

If you want to learn to ride a bike figure out how the bell
and pedals work?
You've never done any serious programming in your life, you wanker.

I work in a research lab. All the serious work is done
in Linux. You have no clue what "serious programming" I've
done. You wouldn't know what serious programming looked
like. Some of my work has been "serious" enough to go into
operational usage (military exercises and wars).

Linux was not developed in the 70s. Educate yourself.
What difference does it make if it had an ancestor that
was?

If you're a Microsoft fan, it's one more sign that you're an
idiot who has no real grasp of technical issues.
