Throughout my college years, I've been persuading people to use Linux,
or have Linux on their desktops. I've befriend people who have
laptops, so it'll have Linux installed on theirs. I don't know if it's
right, but I know my guts says I can't be wrong with a strong passion,
interests, and enthusiasm about Linux. My colleagues call me Linux,
because I'm so stubborn about brainwashing their minds that Linux is
the shit!

So based on my statistics, male's are harder to convince than females,
 It's easier to convince people who are still trying to learn Windows,
or just recently purchased a computer and very happy about it, and
want to try anything out. Females have this kind of adventurous
personality, that they end up having their PC's installed with Linux.
People don't get persuaded by huge words or technically superior
kernels, but with "Hey! if you try to run a virus on it, your PC won't
be affected!".

So how the hell are you going to convince people to use Linux? Well,
it's simple, make sure to let them know that they are still wearing
polka dots.
