I use computers for my pleasure, not someone else's. After 35+ years
(longer if I include University and school) in working environments
where someone dictated IT policies, I'm not going to be told which OS I
can use by some wannabee geek regardless of what he is promoting.

I promote Linux to people I know, mainly fellow radio amateurs, and used
to encourage my pupils who were computer geeks to try it.
I'm not anti-MS or Apple nor do I promote them.

There's certainly nothing wrong with using whatever works best for
you, regardless if it's open- or closed-source. OSS is never going
to be the best choice in all situations.

FOSS does not need the charity of "zealots" to succeed. It only needs
something resembling a level playing-field in the market.
