I've seen that with some Linux "advocates" as well. I don't get it. There is 
no "one size fits all." I don't even try to convince my wife or kids to use 
Linux because what they want or need isn't really available (or as readily 
available) in Linux (Windows games for my kids and Microsoft Office and 
(now) AI crap for my wife).
