Well yes. I agree reccomending linux to others. But if the only reason someone isn’t switching linux is because some proprietary app doesnt support it, i don’t see they will care about free software later on. Also not everyone are like you and me, and may use linux without caring about software freedom at all.(I have a friend who uses google chrome AND edge)
I guess part of software freedom, for me, is that I don’t care what other people choose to do, I just use and recommend Linux and other open source software wherever I can.
Absolutely wild that you’d purity test people and recommend against them using Linux just because they wouldn’t be using it for the reason you want them to…
I am not against people using linux for some other reason but I don’t want to promote linux just for people to use proprietary software. They could, but i am not interested in them and does feel useless if its not for software freedom.(That doesnt mean i am against people using them)
Btw if you dont know, software freedom is not about using whatever software you need. Its about a software that gives you the four essential freedoms
I didn’t care about software freedom very much until after I switched to Linux, so I’ll keep recommending Linux to anyone willing to listen.

Alright, I take it back. With a sales pitch this bad, it’s maybe a good thing for you to hold back on the Linux evangelism.
