Agreed,  I have been using Linux for longer than 14 years,  on the 
desktop at least,   it works fine,  I can write documents, check 
e-mail,browse websites, and do the things I want to do.

I don't really play games that much,  so happy with the system as it is. 
 One of my argument for advocating use of free software is find out 
first what that person uses their computer for.   It may be there are no 
suitable alternatives that run on a Linux based OS,  so don't advocate, 
 for what I use my system for would be fine for a lot of people who 
want to transition over.

People may want specific features in say Photoshop that are not 
available in gimp or other photo editing software (darktable is one I 
think), in which case move on and help someone else who may benefit.

Indeed, not watched the video yet,  but yes, a well worded article is 
far more accessible to everyone.   I would rather read an article than 
watch a video, esp if you are expressing an opinion.
