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.

I don't have a computer to try it on and I can't be without a computer.

Oh here, take a Linux laptop from my giant box of Linux laptops!

Old laptop? Linux! I do the same thing on laptops people give me when they are done with them

People are ... done with laptops? And they just... give them to you?

They think its better than throwing them in the trash and they have a misguided notion that I will actually use the computer when they give it to me
