I get it. My first introduction to FOSS was getting insulted by people for not knowing about FOSS, and it really put me off of things. It was made abundantly clear to me that only smart people know about Linux, and if I didn't know about Linux, I was too stupid to run Linux and needed to stick to Windows like the loser I was.

So I stuck to Windows because I'd rather be a loser than an asshole. I have since tried linux, but everybody hates that I think Ubuntu is good for n00bs, so there is no winning.
