They seem like religious fanatics to me from time to time.
Many of them are even such hypocrites, just talking some stuff they read somewhere. Typically they even adore apple, just because it's also an underdog but forgetting that apple's software is even more closed than Microsofts.
And the grumbling about Linux not being spread so much, well they don't get that Linux' purpose isn't to be the market leader or something in the first place but to be a cheap alternative to expensive software.
It's funny that GNU/Linux users seem to call Microsoft the evil communist while Microsoft fans call Linux the evil communist  |
I always sensed that there was an eagerness in the "community" to sort of spread the word, or see more people being able to take advantage of linux and open source software. Isn't that the concept that launched Ubuntu in the first place? I could be wrong. Until ubuntu, it seemed like a lot of the linux community sort of gave new users the RTFM attitude.
BTW, your last point gave me an idea for another thread.
