+However there are very vocal crowds of [WindowsUser]s who fear the CommandLine and believe [MicrosoftCorporation]'s products and their clickety [GUI]s are the epitome of user friendliness. This tends to be especially true for the "gamers" faction among them. They would probably be [MacFanatic]s if they had been introduced to that line of computers before they got used to the way Windows does things and formed enough habits and inertia to despise every system that does things another way.
+
+Do not try to argue with folks of this ilk.
+
+Quite a few of them will eventually discover some [KDE] app or some such that does what their most frequently used MicrosoftWindows app does, in a similar way. Upon that moment, many of them are likely to spontaneously turn into the worst kind [Linux] know-it-alls (with no actual knowledge to show for their zealotry). It seems as though [Slashdot] is a central gathering place for this particular breed of [Luser].
+
+Again, never argue with them.
+
+Fortunately, at least a minority of them seems to eventually develop some knowhow and mellow out through constant exposure to [Linux].
