much like vegans, they get real close to you and say "btw i'm a linux user".
there isn't that many upsides to using linux for a home or gaming machine, it's great for server machines as it's free and lightweight, but nothing else unless you want to jump through hundreds of hoops to get one game working.
it's not the best operating system unless microsoft allows for the exe format to be usable on other operating systems and/or some wizard makes exe files work on linux. another alternate is every developer making copies of their programs for linux, which happened in a tiny amount but never went anywhere (steam supporting games for linux became popular for a while, then died off).
