you simply respond with "because you are too scared to change your ways, afraid of learning, and scared of compromise"
People preach about how life is a struggle, and how things are difficult, and how you just have to deal with them, but the second they are presented with any sort of compromising luxury they go "uhm, no thanks, im good actually"
you could just as easily respond with "why bother with windows, when you have no freedom, what's the point in doing anything, if it isn't free"
I just say “If a developer isn’t good enough to get their product to work on Linux then it’s not high enough quality to use”
thats the thing about open source, the developer literally doesn't have to do anything, just release it open source, someone will figure out how to fork it if they want it on linux. It's literally that simple.
