This kinda stuff made me switch a lot later. Just wanted to spite the people trying to shove linux down my throat.
Hopefully you can see now that we had good reason to. Imagine a world where Linux didn't exist and the only answer to Microsoft's power was Apple and vice versa
Sure would be bad and I am not saying linux is bad. But annoying people by linux propaganda does not help linux' case.
If being told you should do something which in fact you should do, by someone who has no real power to pressure you to do it, is so "annoying" to you that's a personal problem.
If you think reminding people that a thing exists (even if it's annoying to pretty much everyone) doesn't help adoption of that thing then you should tell that to all the advertising agencies that make trillions creating propaganda (for Windows even)
Something I should do? Who are you to determine what I should do or not? I swear linux fanboys are one of the most annoying people on earth. I feel like if you can't stop telling people to use linux whenever you hear that they are using a different OS is a personal problem you should work on.
I can tell you what you should do all day long and it will never hurt you, unless you decide to reactively to the opposite even when I'm right.
If you tell me to stop being an annoying Linux fanboy I will have no choice but to continue, because that's what you have to do when someone tells you something.
