Linux

I agree linux isn't hard but to get a larger mainstream user base the community needs to quit saber rattling that people who don't get how something works on it are idiots and start working on teaching them how to do it properly. I was using his response to the other player as a prime example of an ill will attitude to those who can't grasp at it as well.

Well actually, from my own experience, the majority of linux users are happy to help and don't look down at you, especially if it ends up making you a convert :P

That's all well and good, but who are you going to run into first? More then likely it will be the man with an insult catered directly to you not getting it the second it existed.
I see the wrong people finding curious parties about various subjects all the time. Sufficed to say do you think belg would look favorably towards linux after the other guy's responses? Personally I see it as doubtful

Being prejudiced against linux just because of that is silly. If we were to follow this example, we should quit playing FFXIV, since it's by a Japanese company and we all know that the Japanese only want our money and don't want to play with us, just like all Americans are fat and Germans are greedy bastards wanting to build the 4th Reich.... right?

Seriously though, people you describe are everywhere, but they are certainly not a majority.
