Grow up guys..

As you mature and (hopefully) get to know more parts of this society, you'll see that 'learning & mastering linux" is such a small parts of it. People will have markedly different priorities, background and talents than you, and you'll just have to learn to see the beauty in that and 'live' your life.

imho, to know and understand this 'phenomenon' is actually key to championing and advocating your own cause (FOSS or whatever that may be).
