winning 100,000 internet arguments about why Linux is better than Windows or why FOSS is superior or why enshittification is bad

is still worse than helping one (1) non-technical person install Linux on their machine that can’t run Windows 11. or helping them install and learn to use LibreOffice because they can’t afford Office 365. or teaching them how to disable the spyware and adware on their Windows machine

for every person who’s staunchly anti-FOSS, there’s someone trying Linux for the first time and overwhelmed by driver issues, or someone who simply doesn’t know how to find good free software, or someone who wants to learn photo editing and can’t afford Photoshop

so don’t be pushy or smug or argumentative towards those who have already made up their minds. be informative and helpful to those who are open to help. tell them what their options are and be ready to provide support if things go wrong

@kasdeya I know nothing about Linux, but I've used OpenOffice and then LibreOffice for years, even installing it on work PCs. Fuck Microsoft and funk all subscription models for software.
