We are happy, very happy, that you have joined the light side of the force, but here you are preaching to the choir. Go knock on doors and help others see the light. Oh, and sending some money to one of the thousands of FOSS projects that keep this running would be nice too.

Anyway, welcome again.

    Switching to Ubuntu from Windows is the most controversial thing I’ve ever done. I don’t even talk about it very much, but some of my friends preemptively make passive aggressive comments about it if the subject of OSs come up and jump on any opportunity they find to make a case for Linux being less convenient than Windows. I haven’t felt this way since I tried vegetarianism.

    All that’s to say I’m pretty wary of “helping others see the light.” There’s more than apathy out there and some people feel threatened by the idea of someone else taking steps to rid themselves of their dependence on Microsoft and the like.
