I recommend you attend the NCLUG meeting this Tuesday if you really
believe that.  You might be disabused of some mistaken assumptions.

I'm a little confused as to what you're doing on this mailing list.  You
say you don't use Linux.  From what you've said, it sounds like you don't
use anything even remotely Linux-like at all (even though Linux isn't my
OS of choice, I do have a couple Linux servers lying around still, and my
OS of choice -- FreeBSD -- *is* somewhat Linux-like, or rather Linux is
somewhat Unix-like, which means it's at least a little BSD Unix-like).

So . . . if you use nothing but MS Windows and, maybe, MacOS on really
weird days, I am curious as to what caused you to join this mailing list.

This isn't an attack.  I'm just curious.
