I’m not really bothered either, and it’s not the first time someone has called me that (not in jest either).
I ultimately dont think this is the right conversation to have… At this point. I was more thinking of the freedom ladder of the FSF, the goal is to give people the tools to further liberate themselves, but we can’t expect people to be near the top of the ladder from the get go or we’ll never see them climb. I also never thought about free software when installing my first copy of Linux mint nearly 3 years ago, I just hated microsoft with a passion and now I’m here.
This is a Linux mint download button, and that’s all it needs to be after the Windows 10 EOL that threatens to create millions of devices of e-waste. We need to meet people where they’re at rather than where we want them to (eventually) be.
If you want to have political conversations about this further you can always DM me, but I don’t think this is a fruitful conversation to have here when we want to grow in members.
