Are you? Since you're only able to feign an insult, I'm guessing you're not the brightest

I wasn't only able to feign an insult, I already responded to you that you're making Linux look bad. You're definitely a teenager with a small attention span and unable to recognize user names. I don't actually hold it against you, I'm glad you're interested in FOSS!

Your advocacy is simply not effective though, insulting people for their choices may make you feel superior but it sure doesn't make them feel good. Instead - recognize that other people are equally intelligent, and they make informed choices. As an advocate for anything seeking to sway a neutral public your purpose is to inform them of better choices, and if you do so positively and with charisma, you will associate the subject of your advocacy with said positivity in the minds of the public.

So instead of all those rants, you could've simply wrote a quick and concise:

" Linux doesn't have these problems :) (it has other problems) "

and been updooted to the top.
