It's odd to me to be a fan of an OS. It's the nuts and bolts needed to make a computer do things I actually care about.

I'm a fan of it for the way that it treats me with respect and represents the possibility of technology that isnt extractive and abusive. And as a ui nerd there is an element of the computing foundation that is exciting to me in and of itself :) I love seeing the different ui paradigms of different desktop environments and how they solve problems like making multitasking work well for users

But that just how I relate to it, it's totally valid for the computer or os to be more of a means to an end for people :)
