Feeb is very insecure.  He equates masculinity with the command line, 
but he's not the first Linux 'advocate' to do so.  In the past Homer was

It's silly.

I use 3 drives:
  OS and boot: internal 256GB NVMe
  data       : internal 2TB SSD
  backup     : external 2TB HDD (small form factor)

As I've said before: Linux, loneliness and testosterone is a bad mix.
