Pewdiepie advised a lot of people to get into Linux and Fosstards still are ungrateful for it.
you need to understand, those people don't want some thinkpad librebooted device with fully free graphics drivers, they just want to use something easy to pick up and better, Linux is now easy to use, minimal drawbacks for a lot of people and some, just straight up none.
to everyone their idea of linux is the practical considerations, less nagging and garbage on the screen, smoother, and more privacy are the benefits they are looking for, they couldn't really give any less of a shit about software ethics, let alone software copyright ethics.

and the "Gnu/Linux" and "Free software" language police is pretty dumb too, the point of language is to convey an idea, i understand autism drives you to care about all this stuff, but you end up making people think you are stupid, because why WOULD they care about specific language, they just don't wanna get raped in the ass by MS that's all there is to it.
