Is there an equivalent to godwin's law for Linux users? If you don't have someone mention ditching windows you'll never think to do it yourself

It's a bit grating as it's preaching to the choir here, but people mainly do not know you can replace the OS, or frankly what an OS is.

You really do have to evangelize for change to make this even occur to people.

I remember back in high school a gal was having computer trouble and when asked about it, she said her computer ran Microsoft office. Like yeah, people don't really know what an os is.
