I’m not a native speaker either. I mentioned his writing to point out he is literally a kid, not to mock his grammar. You can look at his account and see his posts

​You want to "lead him to Linux" but he clearly just wants to pirate stuff and we all know this community will mock him the second he breaks his system

​Instead of naively thinking about how this elitist community will "nourish" him, it would be infinitely more useful to teach him about attack surfaces and keeping personal data off a risky system entirely
