Since when do you need CS degree to use Linux? Oh that’s right, you don’t. You just have to actually give a shit about what you personally want, and not what big corporations want you to think.
Someone that misrepresents a topic with such confidence when they quite obviously have no idea what they are talking about doesn’t really deserve a better response in my opinion. My tech illiterate wife uses Linux, and so does my 80+ year old grandma. It doesn’t require a CS degree, anyone can use it.
Linux is great for very average users that do everything in the web browser and use a few basic applications. It is also great for advanced users that actually know how a computer operates. The problem comes from Windows power users that like to think of themselves as computer experts, but then realize that they are actually just Windows power users. Then they get butthurt and insecure and lash out at Linux when the problem is actually between the chair and keyboard.
There’s no need to convince anyone. Anyone who wants to be there is there.
If you have to convince them to come in then you end up getting stuck with supporting them.
It’s like the Reddit to Lemmy conversion. If people are going to consider the unknown and impassable barrier entry, they’re probably better off where they were at.
I get it, but then the other dude is just being an asshole, belittling people that find hard the transition.
Either they suck at presenting a good argument about their platform or they are just an asshole that belittles other who find it hard to use their platform. I prefer to think the first one although I know that chances of the second are higher.

Cool, you won’t convince anyone like that.
It’s their loss.
