   Dear #Linux friends. How do you talk about new versions of DEs to non-Linux friends?

   Like #Gnome 46 has been released and you want to tell someone how much better their Linux experience will be now if they try, or there's a specific feature you feel they would appreciate that you want to tell them about. Or something. How do you talk about it?

   "Gnome is, like, this way for Linux to look and feel and now it's got this new..." is reeeal clunky. Not sure you'll win anybody over like that, or?

     @fhekland Yes, never tell anyone about anything Linux related ever! Never tell anyone about anything they might appreciate, as long as it's got anything to do with Linux. Good idea.

     Good thing Microsoft and Apple never does any advertising!

     @arosano Yet sometimes it's nice to be able to talk with people about things you care about, and things you think they might enjoy too. What a concept.

     @forteller We don’t have to be missionaries just because we “are on #linux”.
