Unix Pioneer Ken Thompson Has Abandoned Apple For Linux

Something I didn’t hear about, which happened earlier last year <https://forums.freebsd.org/threads/unix-pioneer-ken-thompson-announces-hes-switching-from-mac-to-linux.88451/>. Ken Thompson, one of the original Bell Labs crew that created Unix, now 80 years old, was asked what OS he uses, and he replied: I have, for most of my life — because I was sort of born into it — run Apple. Now recently, meaning within the last five years, I've become more and more depressed, and what Apple is doing to something that should allow you to work is just atrocious. But they are taking a lot of space and time to do it, so it's okay. And I have come, within the last month or two, to say, even though I've invested, you know, a zillion years in Apple — I'm throwing it away. And I'm going to Linux. To Raspbian in particular.
