Please remember as people are looking for places to go to be kind. The reason Linux took so long to “take off” is because us linux folks (myself included) were proud of the high bar to entry. Encourage people to be curious, help them learn the ropes, don’t bog them down with technical details or the battles that have been taking place on X technology over Y technology. Offer an open easy place for them to come talk.
Once they get the foot in the door for a few months we can show them how awesome Linux is!

But X technology is inferior to Y technology and if they don’t know that they’re not real Linux users!!!
If we don’t warn them about it they’ll obviously be unhappy they should knowww!
(In reality they get confused, they leave, and then they keep using the corpo controlled version)
