(It reminds me of a Hungarian tech news/forum site which wrote (they probably still do, I just don't go there anymore lol) about Windows all the time, and highlighted each Linux vulnerability saying "see, that's why you should just stick to Windows" while they also wrote about Windows vulnerabilities so they contradicted themselves pretty noticably. And the sad thing is they have quite a lot of readers who are also brainwashed zombies shilling Windows in the comment section, and if a Linux user accidentally finds the way there, he/she quickly gets humiliated like crazy. So Linux users are the elitists? Hmm, not so sure about that lol)
