My favorite is when someone tells me that they are too old to learn about new technology, or that they can’t use a device because they aren’t very tech-y. No, you just refuse to learn.

    Linux nerds screeching about how Linux desktop works perfectly out of the box and with less time and effort then Windows/OsX.

    It’s entirely counterproductive to adoption.

      Yeah, I tell people Linux is like driving a custom built car. You can make it do anything you want and have absolute control and freedom, and often do things other cars can’t, faster and more efficiently and cheaply. But sometimes it’s going to break and you need to get in there and wrench. If you don’t enjoy learning, or work 80 hour weeks and have no time to tinker, don’t use Linux desktop.

      I got my SO to change because they like to customize, and I’m there if if breaks.
