Fives stages of ORM usage

1. This will save me so much time!
2. Why are these work-arounds so complicated?!
3. Maybe if I just write a few custom-queries

Linux on the desktop
👎 Cons:
- Usually requires effort to set up
- Some apps missing
- Gaming not as good as Windows
👍 Pros:
- Updates don't suck as much as Mac or Win
- Free (in every sense of the word)
- Great dev experience
- Comes in many (very different) flavours
