Put yourself in his/her shoes. You're a budding young technical writer and the one word you hear popping up in almost every tech-related conversation is, you guessed it, Linux. Now look in the mirror and try to tell yourself you're more than a writer. After all, you write about technology because it not only interests you, but you're accurate and fair enough to tell it like it is. Maybe not.

>I personally don't care how many people switch to Linux or some other operating system. Why should I?
I'll go ahead and state the obvious. Market Share. More users means more and better software and hardware support for Linux. I think that's a good thing.
>I am personally getting sick and tired of new users who want everything to work 'just like in windows'
I think this is a strawman arguement. I've yet to see anyone in all the threads and boards and discussions I've read where anyone wants Linux to work 'just like in windows'. What people want, at least newbies, average users and non-elitests, is a Linux that works better, and is easier to use.
There will always be the command line, and there will never be a lack of distros aimed at users such as yourself. Why you begrudge distros aimed at more average users like me I have no idea.
