   Hey, Linux people: a LOT of folks are screaming off Windows right now.

   Be. Kind. To. Them.

   They don't know much yet, so they are going to ask really basic questions. If you're KIND, you might get some to give it a try and stick to it bc they know they can ask for help. If you're unkind, you're showing them using Linux will be *worse* than Windows. If you can't bring yourself to be kind, then SAY NOTHING. Let others pick up that slack.

     @deadheat @OrionKidder @SuperDicq I interject into conversations were people are referring to GNU as "Linux".

     @Suiseiseki @SuperDicq @OrionKidder Notice how the interjection that opens the copypasta is not italicized, Stallman actually interjects into conversations where people are referring to GNU/Linux incorrectly
