Linux users misunderstood by their own families
Normies are gonna norm and there is nothing you can do. They have no clue and trying to get them to switch is like trying to teach a pigeon to play chess: it won't work and you and the pigeon will both be annoyed ... and they'll probably be a mess as well.
On the positive side, "sorry, can't help you. I don't know Windows," gets you out of being family tech support.

Good illustration. I understand your thoughts.

Linux users misunderstood by their own families
Wow...I hadn't thought of it like that before, but I'll never forget the feeling I had when I booted up into RedHat after my first install. It was like having someone turn the light up brighter in a dark room...I wasn't aware it was dark before, but suddenly I am VERY aware. Good point.
As for family, all you can do is respect their choices and ask for the same in return.Posted 04-04-2011 at 10:31 AM by rocket357
