Being that this is a "support" list, support those who have questions in things you have answers for and ignore the rest. And let those who wish to remain ignorant of the technical details remain so.

Thank you ! You summed up rather nicely what I was trying to get across. If someone wants to install Linux rather then Windows, then they'll do so. If they're curious, then they'll ask about it. But if someone is asking for an answer to a very specific question, then turning it into an excuse to tell them how ignorant they are for "not doing it your way" seems rather counter to the concept of a support group.
And while there is a group out there that feels that the sun rises and sets on Linux, until the number of systems running it comes even close to 1% of the number of computers currently in use, all it is is a small niche that's not going to be supported by the mainstream. And, if it ever does take off, and surplant Windows as the standard, then the hackers will just start writing their malicious code to infect it, and it'll be some other niche group ranting about how secure their systems are.
