I won't be forcing carriage returns on general principle. It's the year 2020 and nobody should have to do that - at least, not with text. Of course, using the enter key is acceptable between paragraphs.

Ditching Windows is the most rational thing to do. You use power hungry computers that are slow and buggy and uses a crap load of energy to keep going.. My computer has a tiny ARM microprocessor that's going to run my computer faster and more secure than your old, archaic, piece of security-nightmare junk. My computer doesn't even have cooling vents.

I ain't no rebel, I'm just not stupid. You're the rebel, you whiny, old fart, herbivore. I'll start using carriage returns when you start eating pork chops.
