If you think the Mac is limited why not show some tasks Linux handles
better. Here are a couple which others have brought to COLA recently which I
have talked about:

* Filling out a PDF form: <https://youtu.be/mqiaPeY1YaI>. Nobody can show
anything even close on Linux... and I left out how you can select a word or
phrase, say "Head of Household" and do a quick Google search and more.
Instead we saw Owl showing something which, while somewhat cool
(auto-filling such forms) is something few would care about (and it can be
done on the competition... even with the tools he used, I think).

* Setting up a mouse to do unusual things... this is something few would
want anyway, but the way it was done on Linux offered fewer choices and was
harder to set up. Here is how I do it: <https://youtu.be/V791-XhhOxY> (I
have shown an older tool in the past, worked much the same... macOS has
choice here). The fact I can have configurations set per program is a very
powerful tool... as far as I know there is no way to do it on Linux (though
I suspect Owl might be able to come up with one, which would be commendable,
there is no pre-made solution).

use reason to show the message to be wrong so they try to feel somehow
superior by attacking the messenger.

They cling to their attacks and ignore the message time and time again.
