@bflipp @toddz @hareldan The problem is your presumed entitlement to make decisions for other people. You don't "let" them run Windows. They are not yours to train. They're people with their own values, priorities, decision making processes that might not reach the same conclusions you do.

@dalias

You are just projecting negativity on to me because I found your use case wanting and told you so.

I'm not forcing anybody to do anything. But I do answer questions and I do educate them on what their OS is doing behind their back and offer alternatives. Particularly when I can make the transition smooth.

But you'll probably say I'm just manipulating people into using Linux at this point.

Anyway, you are incredibly boring and I'm tired of you. When I present dry facts people like you get threatened because you project authority on to me. I gave you the most logical solution and made fun of you when you didn't take it.

@bflipp You're the one who specifically said "I will not let people I care about run an OS...."

That is not okay. It is controlling and abusive. Even if you don't mean it literally, the wording reflects a sense of entitlement to make decisions for other people.
