When I was a Linux supporter I spent a substantial amount of time
trying to convince Windows users to switch to Linux. While some tried
Linux, most went back to Windows because Linux proved to be an
incredibly awful operating system for them to use. 
I used to parrot all the standard Linux excuses like;
Linux is secure.
Linux is freedom.
Linux is free from spyware.
Linux is inexpensive.
Linux is the future because Microsoft is ultimately doomed.
And so forth.

In the end it didn't matter.
Nobody really cared.
They wanted to play games, use software checked out from the library,
use their camera applications and so forth.

It took me the better part of about 5 years of my life to have a talk
with Jesus, figuratively of course, and realize Linux is a huge piece
of shit for a desktop system. I'm not a developer but I do know a
couple of programmers and they pretty much laugh at the free Linux
tools vs those commercial IDE environments. It just gets worse for
typical people. The final nail in the coffin for me was stepping back
and taking an unbiased look at the leaders of the Linux movement and
their followers.
It's all pretty sick in my opinion.
Reminds me of my hippie days except for the fact that we were harmless
and accepted anyone. The Linux community at large will only accept you
if you parrot their ideology. It's very much like mainstream
religions, any of them. And just a sick.
