People are social creatures, not logical ones. Your “attempts at convincing” are probably personal attacks. Hell, you’re personally attacking everyone who you even imagine disagreeing with you in this thread.
If I were to tell you to “Use Linux, you stupid shit!”, I would have made an effective advert against the use of Linux. This wouldn’t be a failure of the recipient, it would be my own as the communicator.
You might not understand, but ignoring such an “advice” is not ignorance, but healthy self-respect. Just imagine if your position was wrong and you didn’t realise: a disrespectful attitude would only showcase that you’re not just belligerent, but also an idiot.
Your rant is a perfect distillation of what you should change about yourself and why. To dumb it down for you: you’re keeping people away from good things. Thinking they deserve it doesn’t make you smarter, just more of an asshole.

I can see that. And I never act like that to anyone when discussing tech.
Example the other day among co workers , they mentioned how horrible windows is, so bad that they havent used their laptops in years and just use their phone because windows is so garbage. I explained how Much better my life has been using Linux only and they were amazed that someone who isnt a computer scientist could use Linux. That was a good time to explain how easy its become now and anyone can do it!
I just hate to see people driven to their spyware phones because windows has made the user experience horrible and hostile. One example.
I guess I dont get it becuase when someone more knowledgeable than me tells me something, I listen.
