    I think the best way to turn people on to Linux is to give them a bootable live USB, so they can try it out. Otherwise, they have no basis for comparison.

    Too many people just accept whatever Microsoft gives them, shrug and think, “Well, I guess this is just the way computers are.”

      The best way from my perspective is to show them.

      At tech events and meetups, I’m showing them Linux.

      When my friends come over, I show them my self hosted solutions on a Linux.

      At work, where we use Macs, we talk about open-source, including Linux.
