    It’s their loss.

    Someone that misrepresents a topic with such confidence when they quite obviously have no idea what they are talking about doesn’t really deserve a better response in my opinion. My tech illiterate wife uses Linux, and so does my 80+ year old grandma. It doesn’t require a CS degree, anyone can use it.

    Linux is great for very average users that do everything in the web browser and use a few basic applications. It is also great for advanced users that actually know how a computer operates. The problem comes from Windows power users that like to think of themselves as computer experts, but then realize that they are actually just Windows power users. Then they get butthurt and insecure and lash out at Linux when the problem is actually between the chair and keyboard.
