There is absolutely Zero things wrong with encouraging Linux use and a million things wrong with contributing to the reams of misinformation floating around about it. So expect pushback every single time. I see you’re getting a lot of it. Seems to be the goal.
I don’t know about pushback, but I’m glad to have a conversation about this, so I suppose it IS the goal. I don’t think most people posting that they have been happily using Linux by default for years are doing so in bad faith at all, but that’s exactly why comparing notes and a shift in perspective are useful here. If everybody was just trolling and memeing about it, then I’d be much less inclined to engage.
And, honestly, besides you being kinda mad and unreasonable (and again, you’re not that bad for Internet standards), everybody else is being super respectful, engaged with the issue and fairly open minded. I have no complaints.
I object to the misinformation bit, though. Everything I’ve posted is either first hand, real experience or easily verifiable.
I mean… the original post seems to have more upvotes than downvotes, so…
Not that I gauge the value of a post by its upvotes. Sure, most of the people responding are disagreeing, but (besides you) they’re mostly being cogent, respectful and polite. I don’t have a problem with that.

It’s not hard to scroll and read. I’ve seen several people calling you out on this and the downvotes also speak for themselves
