I am a happy Windows "user". Specifically, I use it for its superior battery/power management on laptops, and mainly as a VNC client to connect to Linux desktops. As long as I'm in control of the firewall, it's also free from ads.
A while back I started the legendary `xeyes` application and just had it open for a few weeks while working.
Interestingly, I noticed that whenever I switched to a desktop without those eyes, I instantly felt a small but noticable twinge of loneliness. So I thought, if this silly application can help the monkey part of my brain feel at ease, it might as well stay open. And yes, it's slightly embarrassing to be a human, so posting anonymously.
Human needs are weird. Years back I noticed clearly that I'd go insane after only a few days without human interaction. However, after only a couple of hours of low quality smalltalk, which I dislike, with people I find uninteresting and didn't have much respect for, the crazy went away.

I had the same experience, and arrived at the same conclusion. I just need some minor socialization each day and everything runs smoothly in my brain.
