The best one I've ever heard is they like the Microsoft wallpapers. Yes i told them you can use them on linux too. But they argued with me that they wouldn't be compatible.

there was this person who was not using Linux because of the CAD software he wanted to use and when I asked what exactly it was, he said, "KiCad"

    One guy told me he plays Mario Kart. As a reason to not install Linux.

    Oh yeah, gotta love that. Some people have "Minecraft phases", I have "STK/hedgewars/teeworlds" phases. Proud owner of an AUR package for a QoL client for Teeworlds, was dead simple to make that. Unless you mean the original TuxKart (not super), in which case that's dead. And WarMux is dead (albeit still mostly playable), same with that one game that is also like a Worms clone but real time. I wish those were brought back...

    Oh, and I forgot the name but there was this one tron clone that still mentions modem preferences and has some really really really low default graphics options but still has quite a few online players, I wish I didn't suck at the game...
