Arrogant much?

Freedom means the ability to choose what works for the individual making the choice. The vast majority of computer users choose not to use Linux because it won't run most of the programs they'd like it to run without tedious workarounds. Other people like tedious workarounds, though.

Apple users choose OSX because it is best for them; windows users choose windows for the same reason. The same is true of Linux users.

And it is the height of arrogance to presume that people who choose differently from you (and who do so for obvious reasons) are slaves, while only you enjoy "freedom." In fact, everyone is just as free as you are because they have chosen their own OS...just as you have.
